No.Is I follow the roads the same as scud running?
Just gotta watch out for those tunnels...I find it especially useful over the mountains. MEA over the mountains tends to put you into the oxygen levels and possibly into ice. Roads usually don't go over peaks but rather through passes and other lower elevation points.

I thought scud running was done at the minimums praying that the weather doesn't get worse mid trip causing you to fly into IMC.No, scud running is violating VFR cloud clearance, ground clearance and/or visibility requirements.

Interesting take on landing on roads, something a lot of pilots say is not a good idea in an emergency because of traffic.
High wings can come up with any argument they want, they will never look as cool as low wing and looking cool is rule #1.More ammo in the high vs low wing debate....
