Local Legal Issue
I was driving to work on my regular route and I didnt see & could not avoid this 1 foot deep pot hole. I hit it pretty hard, hard enough to turn my stereo off. I didnt stop to check it because the car was still driving straigh. When I got to work and look at the wheel, I noticed my Passenger side tire formed a egg size lump on the sidewall, along with a nasty gash in the actual wheel. Now I know this is defenitly not safe to drive on. Now my question to you...
The tire that needs to be replaced is easily a $200 tire. I refuse to pay for this since it was not my fault. I had nothing else to do it was either swerve into the car next to me to avoid a pot hole, or slam on the brakes and get re-ended. You decide whats worse...
Should I call the Local Police, Department of Public Works, or call the municiple building and see what can go. I'm going to take photos of the offending pot-hole along with the damage to the wheel & tire, before I get it replaced.
Im really hopping the town will be polite and float the bill, but thats wishfull thinking.
