Arizona has an aptly named —Stupid Driver Law— (actually stupid motorists). Essentially it means if you drive in a wash, get stuck and are pulled out by first responders you will be fined and billed for their services. It should be self explanatory……since don’t drive in washes is posted on signs and broadcast repeatedly on multi-media it seems little excuse exists to claim –I didn’t know–

We’re scheduled for a late Winter storm this weekend—very exciting as told by the local weather-guys(and gals). If it sticks as predicted we’ll have the major washes fill (CDO, Tanque Verde, La Canada, Pantano, Sabino, others) which means another round of senseless public servant waste as Stupid Drivers insist on rushing through as if this had never happened before.
I saw this fella on a recent (last day pre-op) bike ride. I was so amused I stopped to take the shot—no, I didn’t even think to help as his motor echoed through the basin floor and smoke trickled out of the engine compartment. If he was lucky he had a friend chain him up and pull him out for a six-pack. He looked to be buried pretty good–I’d suspect he had to call a pro or emergency folks. Not an ounce of pity here as I clipped back in and finished my ride.
