Every so often I have to yell at the UPS, Fedex and trash truck drivers. Not very often, but sometimes. Most traffic on my private drive is from UPS. I know most of what gets torn up is from him. I guess that is the bad part of having everything delivered from internet purchases.

Exactly what driving habits are the bad ones? I've heard arguments about keeping speed down to avoid washboarding, but all the roads on the way out to CRC are regularly traveled highway speeds and they are in pretty great condition. I don't know how often they are maintained though.

Either DP gleeped it from MJ. Or mother someone took it from DP.

How can you prevent washboard?

You can prevent washboard from forming on your gravel or dirt road by following one simple rule: don’t drive too fast! Studies have shown that any traffic going over about 3 mph is going to cause washboard eventually, but if you stay under 20 mph, it will form very slowly. So the key to prevent washboard (for the most part) is to stay under 20 mph
