Has anybody ever hit the cable things on the interstate?

Driving today I noticed places every half mile or so where people had hit them. They look pretty bad. I assume they are safer than no cables but I think I would rather take my chances spinning around in a median.

That's not why they're there.

Why did you ask a question in your title and then answer it in the post?
What the frick are you trying to accomplish here?

My driver hit one on the way to Lake George a few summers ago

Their purpose is more to protect the innocent drivers from head on collisions than the stupid frick that drives off into the median.

They’re not for the dumbass that ran off the road, they’re for the oncoming traffic on the other side.........and they are a constant reminder if Darwin’s theory to motorcyclist.

I’m bleeding out, can one of you send help?

My bad. But the number of head on collisions I’ve heard of on the interstate pale in comparison to the damage I see every quarter mile of what appears to be caused by a human cheese grater.

Cars hit cables not humans

Are they doing their job? I would like to see some data on it, seriously. In instances where the median is of some width I would think they are just putting more people at risk of hitting something. Whereas it used to be just grass and tire marks of where people ran in the median. Which brings me to my original question asking about how the collision with the cables was to those who have experienced it.

I wish you the best Dirty Mike. I think you may have a case if you pull through.

I watched a dumb arse lady playing with her phone hit them one day on I12 between Covington and Hammond.
Stopped her dead in her tracks. Those damn things work as promised and scared the ever living shite out of me.
