Driving back up from Florida one spring in a Prius.
Tired. Blizzard conditions and stuck behind a slow and steady semi on the freeway kicking up an additional huge cloud on the windshield.
And me too impatient to make good time. I jumped the 6-8" snow curb between the lanes and hopped left.
Over the big bump. Correct. Over again.
And there. Upon emerging. Was a 8-12' extension ladder laying across the lane perpendicular.
The little tank rolled over it somehow with no damage.
Moral of the story is what they taught way back in driving class. Leave X seconds room ahead
