Re: Looky Loos
That's assuming there is someone dedicated to doing so. Hard to get licence plates when involved in more serious business. It's the mindset of those that are self-important and conceited.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

Human Nature...
Just like they say people hate fighting in the NHL...but everytime you see a fight the whole place stands up...
Nascar....people go nuts when cars are blowing up but they know they say they dont want to see that kind of stuff.
Look at all the Rubber necker lookie loos that were out and about in summer 2003 with the fire that happened....just one of the guilty pleasures.....dont want to see but have to.

Re: Looky Loos
The trucks and barriers are there for everyone's safety, much like the fence on Skaha at the river channel is there for safety, but people still go around it. You cannot protect people from their own stupidity. The firemen should just turn the hose on them "accidentally" for a second.

That's a little harsh. Back in the day on summer road crew, I saw plenty of folks who were just confused and unaware (seniors) and many who think a barricade that does not cut off the entire road width means "except local traffic". I think ignorance is far more prevalent than conceit.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Re: Looky Loos
Because of the location of this fire it would have been difficult to put up enough barriers and flaggers to prevent traffic. Still no excuse to be driving in and around the firetrucks. Someone may have seen a volunteer fireman drive around a barrier and thought he could do the same without knowing he was a fireman.
