Hmmmm…..Methinks Keta nailed it.
Again, is your only reason here to squawk and shit on people, or are you going to explain why you think that drivers on resource roads are in the wrong and you are in the right?
And there is an old saying that seems to fit here that you may benefit from.... "If you meet and as*hole during the day, you probably met an as*hole. If everyone you meet during the day is an as*hole, maybe you aren't the one who met an as*hole...…"
Just sayin'.
BrownSeaGull, you mean the kind that gets dragged through the ocean prior to entering a sewage treatment plant?
Do you know what FSR stands for? Forest service roads. Before you start complaining about someone doing their job I would ask to go for a ride in one and see it from their perspective before you jump to conclusions and start writing letters. It is actually illegal for anyone to be on those roads with out a radio. But like I said hop in and go for a ride first. I guarantee your tone will change very fast.
As a crane operator that has hauled many oversized loads into the bush, i thought I’d mention that the loaded trucks can be hauling from any direction. Also, low beds can and will haul loads point to point in the bush that would normally require 2 pilot cars on a public road. The blade on a D-10 will do terrible things to, well, everything. Get a programmed VHF radio and learn how to use it. Stay on your side of the road. If you need to park, park WELL off the road. (I once encountered a pickup blocking the road back of the Gang. Picked him up and put him where he should have been.) Drive with caution at all times, you may meet your doppelgänger out there.
They should make it law, that you can NOT travel on an active FSR without a proper radio...might save some "EC" (entitled citidiot) his/her life!
But thats just my 2 cents worth on the subject....:)
I did not think it was a law for public to have a radio on far road. Where is this found. I do have a radio and use it always. But just did not think it was a public must.
Wellllll thats not exactly correct. You as a member of the public can legally be on a FSR without a radio.
If you are an industrial user you need to have a road use agreement with the primary road user who holds the road permit (and is legally responsible for the condition of the road - ie maintenance), and as part of your road use agreement it will state that you need to have a radio and a radio licence and USE IT, and if you are found to not be following the conditions of your road use agreement (no radio, not calling correctly) then your road use agreement can be recinded.
