"You must not reside in Michigan. (all red except for Detroit and Ann Arbor--which sadly carry the state)

Are you aware Michigan has twice the weight limit on trucks in comparison to any other state? And they do travel on Fed financed interstates. So when you do $1,500 worth of damage to your supension (we call them chuckholes), who is responsible-city-county-state-fed? Is this civil or statutory?"

I will attempt to reply, but your response to my post is very convoluted.

The last I knew we were talking about paperboys and their right to use your property. But I'll bite if I have gotten the meaning of your post.

If there is damage to a suspension of someone's vehicle due to roads for which government is responsible and there is no statute determining a remedy for such damage then it would still be civil. The person would have to file a suit (which he would unfortunately lose in all likelihood) to recover damages. This is not legislation.

Again, you legislate so that an obvious hazard does not create a situation that causes injury or death. Why is this so controversial? Your responses are knee-jerk.

I live in New Hampshire and our roads are very good, but this has nothing to do with ice/snow flying (yes flying) off of vechicles. We receive alot of snow and it is as much of a hazard when some lazy fool doesn't clear his or her vehicle as any drunk on the road. And around here they are both common.

As for the weight limit problems - how about getting the weight limits lowered and they won't wreck their suspensions.
