Apparently the drivers who come though New Stanton dont need any alcohol at all. They just dont know how to drive period.
Theres been about 5-6 roll overs in the last 4-5 weeks, all with about 3 miles of the interchange. The last one was last Monday I think. Crete rolled it over at the 56 on 70. I noticed that for a while the DOT pressure at New Stanton has been pretty light compared to what it was a year ago. They were there EVERYDAY this time last year. I guess they were givin us a bit of a break but I wouldnt be suprised if they start hammerin heavy again after all this bullshit. I'm a big supporter of drinkin & ridin.

MOST ramps are a standard 25mph. I'd think that you should know to approach any ramp with caution regardless of with the posted speed is though. The state shouldnt have to be responsible for you having common sense. It dont take a rocket scientist to figure out that you shouldn't go around a ramp at 40+MPH.

For gods sake, are these the first times that these people have ever been on an interstate or highway with on-off ramps???
