One has to wonder if all drivers can read. I thought one had to know how to read before passing a driver’s test. Several times a year a tractor trailer truck gets stuck in Smugglers’ Notch despite several large flashing signs the first of which is far down Route 108 in both Stowe and Jeffersonville, Vermont. Despite the signs and the obvious narrow and steep nature of the road tractor trailer trucks get stuck in the Notch every year.
