    it’s possible to have baseball sized hail.

    due to climate change it’s happened more often recently. to put it into perspective I have see baseball sized hail five times in my life. four of those have been in the last five years.

    I’m not driving in baseball sized hail. in my book that IS an emergency.

    for the Euroly-challenged, that’s a hailstone thats around 7-7.5 cm in diameter. I’ve driven through 2cm hail before, not fun but just go slow. anything less than that doesn’t really need you to pull over IMO.

      Never said anything against that.
      Just pointing out that if that was true, you would stop by the side of the road anywhere, not seek an overpass & drive to there in ‘emergency conditions’.

      Bcs this is what this post is all about.
      Ppl stopping where they shouldn’t & in conditions they would just drive on if there was no overpass.

      You wrote:

      is full fuck off to another overpass

      Why would you fuck off to another overpass if the conditions are dangerous?
      If it was an emergency you would stop asap.
