Tales from the open, err… closed, road  If Americans were better
at improv, state troopers might write fewer tickets.  Alas,
we’re not. The Minnesota State Patrol Facebook page carries this
tale today.   Recently, an MSP Sergeant found this semi truck
driving thru a closed construction zone on Hwy 212 and Hwy 75 in
Lac Qui Parle County. The driver drove around numerous
barricades, and after nearly making it all the way through the
zone, he met up with a trooper. The driver, who was heading back
home to Mississippi, said he didn’t know the road was closed. He
was cited for driving around a barricade. Great work!!
Mississippi, you say?    • John O.      The sign did not say
“Road Closed Y’all.”    • Bob Collins      The “I don’t know how
to read” defense might’ve worked, assuming the state trooper
does.    • jon      if he managed to drive across the closed
road almost the entire way (guessing maybe the entire way to
actually get out after the trooper caught him) then why was the
road closed in the first place
