I d be havin a tin fence to max height ,6'6" tall here,with the wire rope behind it....tin fence so no one can see in......the idea of the wire rope ,is if its hit ,the pull ends up on all the posts ,not just one,so they dont need to be all that big to stop a car.........If you look around ,most places you can get used wire rope scrap price ,or less....cause its not popular with the scrapyards.I would have three strands of wire rope,same levels as plain wire horse fence........gravel is nice,but is kinda dear here.....like $1000 for a 10 ton load.

Round here ,there was a lot of idiots with giant bullbars on 4x4 trucks purposely mowing signs down........council started putting signs in pipe holders sunk in the ground ,so they were easy to replace.......anyway ,one guy put a couple of bits of 2" cutoff truck axle shaft in the holes........couple of 4x4s sitting high and dry on these poles,as they went under the bullbars,and snagged the engines or transfer cases......Stopped the idiots in a couple of weeks.....never one since.

A couple of thoughts, right or wrong.

When you get a license, you sign that you are responsible for keeping control of your car at all times. If you lose control of your vehicle for any reason, you're liable for everything that happens from that point on. Doesn't matter if it's raining or snowing or the sun gets in your eyes, you're supposed to be in control.

That means that when you crash your car off the road and hurt yourself, it doesn't matter what you crashed into that destroyed your car or your life, regardless of who put it there. If someone put a concrete barrier up and you crash into it because you're drunk or speeding or a squirrel ran in front of your car, too bad, so sad. You're fault.

Then, of course, there is the closely related idea of contributory negligence that goes right along with all of the above. You drink. You drive. You crash. You sue. You lose. Hopefully, by a judge's dismissal.

Take that to a lawyer and see if you get laughed at or if he agrees. I'm curious.

Again, right or wrong...........

Wag....some lawyer takes you to court ......you win,you lose.....all your legals......you lose ,youre in trouble..........and you cant ignore it ,cause if youre a no show in court ,you have a judgement found against you automatically,and the lawyer will then go for an enforcement order.
