Will small wonders never cease!  This afternoon, some trucker trying to run the Weight Station on I-83 between MD 439 and MD 45 got snagged by a Baltimore County Police Cruiser right in front of my house.  This is a personal pet peeve, since the Cockeysville Precinct doesn't  have the manpower to enforce the laws -- and the State Police just don't care.

It should be noted that at least a dozen trucks -- everything from auto carriers to container bobtails (and thus not "farm loads") run that weigh state every single day.

Here's a shot:

Since this stretch of York Road is well known for speeding -- its a clear 2 mile, wide open strech the kids love to drag race on -- I have offered my driveway and coffee maker a number of times, all to no avail.  It's good to see the Baltimore County Police out and enforcing traffic law.

As I have said before, the roads would be much safer in Maryland if the existing laws were only enforced.  Trucks trying to run the Weigh Station are either poorly maintained, overweight, or the drivers are over hours.  Enforce the law, and make the roads safer.
