I"ve got a friend/customer in Chapel Hill, NC that runs a small quarry. The DOT does the same thing around there, just sit down the road and wait on someone to come out so they can stop them for no reason and then nitpick things to find a reason. He had one awhile back followed a truck in through the gate onto his property. To make matters worse he said when the guy came in the drive he was going so fast he went sideways. The quarry is behind his house and the office is in the house out by the road. Now Tony has dogs and a kid, none of which have a problem getting out of the way of the slow moving trucks but wouldn"t stand a chance against this a--hole. By the time everything was aid and done Tony did 99.9% of the saying and the DOT officer found out real quick that his jurisdiction ended when he pulled in the drive on private property. Not only that he got his a-- chewed up one side and down the other for coming in sideways like he did. Tony"s one of those "little" guys that has a BIG attitude when screwed over and he gets screwed over by the local "law", politicians, etc so often it"s not funny becayse they don"t like his byusiness in the middle of their pretty little town (that grew up around him in the last 50 years) So, he catches he!! so often that he winds up in about .000001 seconds. I"d loved to have been there that day and seen the encounter with the DOT. Of course I"d love to have seen many of the others I"ve heard about from his employees where he faced down a firetruck coming on to put out a fire on the rocks (water vapor looked like smoke so they said)after he had run off a city official with no business on the property, etc etc. Thankfully there are still people out there that don"t take no s-it and still stand up to the government when they are wrong.
