Road Debris - Tumblr Posts

Saturday February 3, 2018 QEW Niagara to Hamilton Blink and die. Okay not *die*. It was just a 6 foot long ribbon of plastic. But you have less than a second to identify the object, evaluate damage if it hits you verses control loss potential swerving to avoid. And yes it's snowing. NEVER NOT RIDING.

UNACCEPTABLE part 2

So I just finished ranting about an unattended camp fire I found Tuesday night this week. And on the Monday I came across a six foot A-frame ladder in the left lane of Highway 406.

Two lanes each way with a broad ditch in between. Country, no street lights. Just half an hour before sunset.

How long had it been there?

Traffic was light, so cars were just drifting aside to pass it, but what about when the sun set? One distracted driver not processing what the weird rectangle ahead of them was?

So I pull over, spin the bike, drive back, and chuck it off into the grass.

Did I save a life? Or at least a damaged vehicle? Maybe? But who left it? Who was like "oh well I can't back up so I guess I'll just go buy a new ladder"? Did they even notice it fell off? How could they NOT?

Un-fucking-acceptable.
