POS Highway Division
Just damaged both wheels and tires on a state highway driving 70mph, huge pot hole in the left lane. Who is paying for the damages? I assume 4 new tires and 2 new wheels.....

I just feel a pot hole big enough to destroy two tires would have been noticeable well ahead of time unless you're tailgating someone or not paying attention.

Night time plus its a highway....cant expect a small crater in the middle of busy hway. Never happened to me in like 20 years
On a side note some fucking kid pissed me off on some old riced 335i, kept trying to race me in middle and left lanes, i switched to right lane because of him. Fuck face even gave me a finger.....I suppose because I didnt want to race.... |

Will call state tomorrow. This is just ridiculous and extremely unsafe. They keep talking about safety and speeding and yet this happens...in general roads in Mass are on 3rd world country level

lol dont even ask.....yes but it was transferred and BMW lied about the whole transfer process in order to get new contract, so at this point I dont know if transfer was completed or not. Theyve been dragging this for a few months and warranty company said it must be done within 1 month.
will call dealer tomorrow |

By law highway division is not responsible for ANYTHING. BMW warranty was not transferred. Adviser said tires sold at dealership are not the same quality (even if same brand etc) as TireRack thats why price for 2 tires is almost $700 bucks. Active Steering alignment is another $300. Then pray to god if wheels are not bent or dont have to replace the other 2 tires to match

Car at BMW dealer now. 2 wheels 2 tires + alignment are needed for sure, but since now I am going with my collision insurance I am hoping to get all 4 tires...makes no sense to replace 2 since the other 2 have 13k miles on them already and its a staggered set. On the bright side, great service from dealer again. Gave me free loaner. I wonder how does it work, towns/cities are responsible for car damage and state is not ? Its BS |

It depends on which authority has jurisdiction over the road. Some may be state roads, some county, some city. I live on a city road, but the intersecting road at the first corner is a county road. The conditions of the two roads is quite different! Check to see who clears the snow, or if you call one division of government, they will be very quick to let you know if it belongs to another! Each part of government may have its own liability defined differently.

On a slow day at work I tried getting after the local township, followed by the county government and state, all to be told, basically, "Go fuck yourself". I gave up.. Much like most of the state has.. |

Insurance is insurance. Like most insurances, the company always wins. Not you.
Obviously something like medical insurance where your out of pocket costs can be in the millions it's smart to have it. However, for tires... eh... I'd do the gamble and drive as safely as I can. That being said, night time driving is tough w/ potholes. |
