Keeping the idiot ON the bridge to bounce around and ram into other cars is much more dangerous than having them go over the side.

But its not always the idiot that ends up going over the side. Sometimes its an innocent person who gets pushed over by the idiot.

You have pretty much missed the point of the original question.

Are you supposed to be posting on TD while working in the toll booth?

Yes, because we have to protect the good drivers from the idiots texting/drunk/etc.





LOL, no.

This "need for higher guardrails" is a made-up moneygrab by the people who work on the Commission.

The statistics don't back up the assertions.

No, I got it. You asked IF a review.....Well, each accident is investigated and the conclusion was that many, but not all were caused due to driver error (texting, sleeping, drunk, etc.) You still cant argue with the aTm crash tests. Lives will be saved.

Yes, I agree, from an engineering standpoint they "should" be higher.

I just question whether they "need" to be higher.

Any competent driver can maintain control of their vehicle going across that bridge.
