So they want to kill off tourism in that area? No other group brings as much income into that area for local businesses. Let the local business owners know this and let them take action.

I've recieved 3-4 emails containing this same statement from some myspace page.
I can't say if this is a rumor or fact... But state of TN states:
Quote:
55-10-205. Reckless driving. —
(a) Any person who drives any vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property commits reckless driving.
(b) A violation of this section is a Class B misdemeanor.
I believe impoundment of motor vehicle and sited for reckless driving is probably the worse case possible..
Not that I'm condoning breaking of local or state law by saying this... But Its nearly impossible for a state troopers to site you for reckless driving and impounding every cars on the Gap for speeding. There is just not enough man power and Deals Gap is too far from many state/city headquarters (for impounding of vehicle)... They would have to have at least 2 towing trucks willing to tow at least 1 hour back and forth.. This means, with two trucks they might arrest max of 5-8 vehicles a day! And Second, its as dangerous to pull over on the Gap as its to drive it.. There are maybe 4-5 pull of area and if all of them are taken, the driver must complete the stretch of road before pulling over.. which means, Both TN and NC Highway patrol must work hand to hand to carry this out and Sky patrol is needed. But the problem is that, Sky patrol would need at least 1/4 mile of tracking of your car to determine the speed. Its quite hard to determine that thru trees and curvy roads of Deals Gap. Not to mention, the road must be marked so that the chopper could measure the speed accurately!
If we want to fight this rumor/fact, its easy.. Get everyone to pull over and take up all the pull off areas on the Dragon. Officers can not park there or drivers are able to pull over. TN DMV states that the driver must pull over to a safe area. Also, unless TN designate a specific spots on the side of the road for state vehicles ONLY, you have as much rights to the pull off area as the officers do. If the officers forces you to leave the area, get their name and badge and report to THP that officers are taking up pull off areas for emergency cases and that you see potential danger! When they are warned and continue to do so, State could be liable for a lawsuit when something does go bad.. That, no state officials would want to deal with.
Also, we will be driving thru Deals Gap from NC to TN side. During our initial drive, we are not going to speed and could see where all the troopers are going to be present at the Gap. Anyone with any common sense should know that there is one way in for TN Highway patrols. If we all communicate and warn others, we should be fine.
Lastly, I DO NOT want any of you to misread what I just said and think I want all of you to Drive thru "the Dragon" like a mad man. Everyone needs to have a common sense and follow State/City rules and regulations. If you break the law, its your responsiblity and you need to face the consequences and NOT blame me or anyone else. And anyone who act like a little child up at my event and danger any of other attendees, I will personally call THP and NCHP with your tag number.
Everyone needs to remember that you represent the rotary communites and don't be selfish and think its all about you..

He confirmed as we had believed that some of the details in the post are completely false, such as the immediate arrest and impoundment of vehicles for speeding over 50 mph on the Dragon.
Captain Fletcher was not able to comment on whether or not the post was made by a Trooper, but some of the language, unusual statements and obvious errors as stated above make us believe the post was by someone other than who supposedly signed their name and position to it. Obviously a real Trooper would not jeopardize his job by signing such a post.
Captain Fletcher stated that the laws will be enforced on the Dragon as they are on all Tennessee roadways. Tail of the Dragon advises riders to obey the laws and they will have no trouble with the Tennessee Highway Patrol or Blount County Sheriff Deputies.

It's amazing how some people seem to go out of their way to do stupid crap like this, and even writing it so it looks legit.
