From the Maryland State Highway Administration:
The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) is prepared for any potential impacts as a result of heavy rainfall forecasted for the next three days. The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for much of Maryland.
“Drivers need to be extremely cautious during heavy rains. From reduced visibility, potential hydroplaning, and flooded roadways, driving conditions will not be ideal and we all need to adjust for safety,” said SHA Administrator Gregory C. Johnson, P.E. “Do not try to drive through high water or flooded roadways. It does not take much water to lose control of your vehicle and endanger yourself and others.”
SHA maintenance crews are inspecting, cleaning and clearing storm water ditches, drains and inlets. Crews from SHA maintenance facilities also evaluated all emergency response equipment such as high water signs, chainsaws, chippers, loaders and grading trucks.
The approaching storm could result in scattered power outages. SHA reminds motorists that if you encounter an intersection where traffic signals are without power, by law, all drivers must treat the intersection as a four-way stop. Maryland law requires that when windshield wipers are in operation, low-beam headlights must be on.
SHA also advises motorists to stay aware of the forecast and, should heavy rain and high wind begin to affect the area, curtail travel as much as possible. Click here for information about flooded roads.
For real-time travel information, SHA invites motorists to log onto www.md511.org or 5-1-1 from a hands-free mobile device.
Doesn’t drivers ed teach driving in hazardous conditions, oh, forgot that the Dagger is alerting Harford County drivers where everyone thinks that they are of some importance and hazardous driving conditions does not apply to them.
I bullshitted one person I had to use a carbon fiber chain to protect their expensive car from the yank and transport.
Didn’t even blink at the carbon fiber chain. LOL!
Idiots with shit for brains and endless amount of money. I love it.
Assuming, of course, this is a factual and true event…that person you “supposedly” scammed just happens to read this article. They now see that they were taken advantage of, and have somewhat limited proof of the action.
They decide to comment – here, at the BBB, Angie’s List, etc… and expose your real name, the name of your business, and your true intentions. Seems that it would make a great boost right before the holidays!
Funny how you referred to those with “endless amounts of money” as idiots, while you are out in the elements, hooking up an expensive car with a chain, covered in soot and grease, and having to scam people out of a few extra dollars to make ends meet. Who’s the idiot in this story?
I didnt scam anyone or take advantage of anyone, bro.
You call me, you get a price.
I simply stated my chain was made of carbon fiber.
I call bullshit on this. Anyone with an expensive car would most likely have roadsite assistance coverage. No need to price shop for a cheap tow.
They do, but lots of people can’t drive worth a damn in good weather let alone heavy rain, flooding, snow, ice, etc.
A reminder isn’t a bad idea and doesn’t really cost anything relative to the potential benefits. Of course I know you just like to bitch on The Dagger so I guess this as good a reason for that as any…
A woman I used to work with, her husband was on the NJ Garden State Parkway road maintenance crew. He used to say that they towed more big gigantic SUV’s and pickups out of the median after losing control during bad snow and rain events than any other type of vehicle. He’d say, “these guys don’t understand that even with a huge vehicle like that, you can’t go 70 miles per hour in bad weather! They think they are invincible!”
