Wow! some people will not drive over this bridge but business is booming for a drive over bridge service (someone drives your car over it for you).

Sounds like a good gig. How does one get to be a bridge driver? It's like being a ferry pilot for crazy people.

Go drive across the bridge that goes over the Royal Gorge in Colorado, it's wood planks on top of steel on a suspension bridge.....oh yeah, it's only over 1,000 feet to the bottom

I'd like to know how he gets BACK.
There'a another bridge, I forget its location, where the roadway is a steel mesh. It looks like you are driving on virtually nothing. It's strong enough for trucks to go over, but if people have trouble on that bridge, just think of driving over a bridge that make it look like you are driving on air. |

We've got this thousand foot or so old privately owned railroad truss near here that was converted to auto use by laying loose boards across the deck. It's rusty and one lane and when you drive over it you hear all the boards bouncing and smacking into each other, and you can look down between them through the gaps at the river below. It connects to a tiny little town, only thing keeping it open is all of the farmers driving overloaded grain trucks across after harvest.

Stupid people. If the bridge collapses, like they're whining about, what good is it going to do to have somebody else behind the wheel? He's an Inkie, not Superman. |

There are 2 spans, one going east, one west. Many times they will close one side or at least open a lane backwards during busy times. SO I am towing a boat over to the eastern shore and manage (by mistake) to get into the eastbound lane they opened on the westbound span. And it's pouring rain. So I am driving with opposing traffic just on the other side of 2 yellow lines in pouring rain with a 7000 pound boat in tow (no brakes on trailer). Once you've done that any other time over it is a piece of cake
 It is 4 miles long and gets pretty high in the middle, and this weekend 600 people will swim across the Bay between the two spans.

Guy said it was his 19th trip that day.
Math: 19x25x5x52=$123,000 a year, for driving folks across a bridge. Now assume he does better than 19, and most are repeat customers..... I have my plan B. 
These folks would die riding I-10 along the coast. Lake Pontchartrain? Heh. |

Getting a massive adrenalin dump while on a long, narrow bridge is one of the freakiest things imaginable.
If you abruptly stop, you could cause a wreck or look like an ass, if you keep going you could wreck. That's why they want other people to drive them. I've had a panic attack on one before. It's hard to describe.... If you see a hot chick, you get aroused and sometimes you automatically get a boner, right? Well for people with lots of anxiety, there are certain triggers that make them automatically dump adrenalin and freak the hell out. Doesn't bother me as much anymore, though. |

Some bridges in NYC are barely wide enough for a pickup truck, let alone other idiots drifting into your lane. Chesapeake bridge is nothing. It's great because the bridges in NYC and surrounding areas are all under construction, always.

The Pontchartrain bridge is pretty cool though. The Big Mac in Mich also sucks. Wind would come up and change lanes for you some times. |
