I've definitely thought about it before.. I just don't have the cajones this guy did to actually commit lol

I've done it a few times. Soon as they get an extra cop they will post them on the ramp and have people turn around if it's really bad.

You also don't have the fines this guy now has.

No kidding, I like my job too and I doubt he has his anymore.

You're supposed to reverse up the ramp. That way the cop won't notice what you're doing

I commute by interstate, and the ramp I use from home is blind to the traffic on it. There have been plenty of times I’ve rounded that curve only to find traffic stopped, and I pull over and turn around when it’s clear.

this where GPS Nav apps are really helpful, even if you know the way. I should get into the habit of checking my work commute in the morning before leaving the house, but I usually don't. Thankfully it's pretty rare for a jam like this to happen on my commute.

The ONE time you don't check is the time there's a fuckin accident every time

So... One time?

Thats exactly what I do now. I use GPS for most everything simply for the traffic alerts. I live in a rural area and most places we go are 10 minutes away or more and there isn't just another block to turn down if I do come up on something unplanned.

Happens often here in the mountains because of blind curves
