Fines Skyrocket For Truck Drivers Getting Stuck On This Popular Motorcycle Road

If you're local to or have ever visited Vermont, you may have heard of an extremely pretty stretch of curvy, tight road that's officially called Scenic VT Route 108 by the Vermont Agency of Transportation. Or, if that doesn't sound familiar, you might know it by its more common name: Smugglers Notch.

Tractor-trailers and trucks, quite simply, cannot fit through the tight pass here. It's too curvy, too tight, and simply not built for such large vehicles. And yet, despite the many signs (in both English and French), the fines, the statistics, the local terminology (VAT calls it a "stuckage" every time a truck gets stuck, because it's a thing that happens multiple times each season), people try it anyway.
