Years ago, back when I used to have to drag my poor Sons from Virginia to New York or vice versa, unusually it seems, almost always in a small Vehicle having to try to Drive without being distracted by, "Mom, he's touching me again," we used to go through an area outside of Ridgeway, Pa. A beautiful sight to behold in Autumn, there on one of the tallest Mountains in the area, it too had one of those Truck Run-Offs as well. But, it never made sense to me, or at least this particular one off of Boot Jack Hill, Pa. as this one went straight up a built-up, very tall Hill. My question was; If a Semi looses it's Brakes, on/at the top of that Hill, and needs to go UP the Truck Run-Off, what's to STOP IT from just rolling back down that Hill? I never asked throughout all these years later as, well, you know us dumb women, I didn't wanna make a further FOOL of us! Any answers are now more than Welcome!!
