“What about road signs or telephone poles that are wiped out and have to be replaced?”
You are liable for them. You are billed for their replacement if it is required. I know this to be true in at least two states.
Damn, there goes the old ball game, guess I'll need to loan Tiger some money to fix that stuff. LOL
Really!! I just learned something. I figured my tax dollars already paid for signs through DOT, since they belonged to me, I could wipe ‘em out at will! (j/k) It was something I never thought about until tonight.
My sister had an accident this week, run off the road by some Amish kids (true). The guy whose mailbox went through her windshield was mad that it wasn’t replaced the next morning. He’s called her 28 times in 4 days about it.
When my husband totaled his pickup a few years ago he also totaled a guard rail. We received a bill for $4500 from the State of TN to have the guard rails replaced. Insurance covered it but I know the State of TN charges you for damage to state property caused by a traffic accident.
