Chunk taken out of tire, question

[schurchill39]

last night i was out looking at some of the damage around the city from the big storm with my girlfriend. I drove around the college campus to check if there was anything there and when I went through one puddle there was a sudden bang so I got out of the puddle to check what it was and there was a chunk taken out of the side wall of the front tire. I dont know if it was becasue of a rock or a brick or a pot hole. My question is can I report this to the city/college grounds office (???) like the fellow with the bent rim and have them replace the tire? If so what do I say or who in specific would i contact?

thats why you go around puddles when you see them, just in case something was washed into it. We got $6,000 from the city 2 years ago when my brother crashed his civic. He was driving at night on an unlite street and well he hit a BIG bump which destroyed the car. Call up a registry and see who would be the proper people to contact.

let me guess, its not your fault again... "the pot hole jumped out infront of my car."

Wow i did almost the same thing but in the process screwed one of my rims, cracked the wheel well and popped a tire. After submitting alot of garbage paperwork to the city i got a whle lot of nothing because the rain was an act of god and sink holes an pot holes do not show negligence by the city. Just a heads up, its worth a try call up the city 268 5443 / 268-2489 thats the road complaint dept and the claims dept. Still have the numbers sitting around from last tuesday when i screwed my car

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[AllGoNoShow]

I wonder if I can get my exhaust replaced because there speedbumps are too big???

Seriously though, you need to go back to driving class I think, everything seems to happen to you or you dont take enough action to avoid it.

More importantly, for everyone else's safety on the road, consider the bus.

Seriously fuck all of you. You guys all heard about the weather in Medicine Hat, when a whole road is flooded what the fuck am I supposed to do? Get out and carry the car across? I didnt know going less then 10km through a puddle was me being dangerous or negligent. But let me guess: its my fault, I saw the puddle i should of stoped got out of my car walked through it to make sure nothing was in it then proceed. Best yet back track 3/4 of the way around the building to avoid the situation all together. You guys seriously act like a bunch of fucking grade 2ers. Its not like you've never done anything wrong behind the wheel or have anything happen to you. AllGoNoShow: a driving class is sure gunna help people avoid hidden objects under a puddle isnt it smart guy? Boost infested: your just a plain smart ass. Again i'd like to see you avoid something hidden underwater. You guys tried to flame ME for ME GETTING HIT. That shows all of your maturity right there. So whats gunna happen when i get back from court and I am shown not guilty what so ever for that accident? Are you all gunna eat your words or are you all going to try and find something new to attempt to flame me for. I really like how a place where people can come for automotive related help quickly turns into another place for people to judge and be rude to others. I guess I did have a reason to avoid the beyond booth, because of ass holes like you guys.

Also who wants to bet that i get banned from the board for this or that this post gets removed because non of you like to accept the truth and your going to flex your "super administrative power" to avoid getting the finger pointed right back at you?

[schurchill39]

And that is what would of got removed any ways. thanks for posting it.

EDITED: To avoid **banning**

And I was about to do the same thing. Here is the break down of that PM you sent everyone.

Driving class, hell yes they teach you shit if you pay attention. Like slowing down from 100km/h to a safer speed when some fuck is swerving around infront of you smoking and you have NO CLUE what he is going to do, get that YOU DONT KNOW WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO SO YOU PROTECT YOURSELF AND SLOW THE FUCK DOWN, got it?.

If you see the puddle you go around/the lowest spot. Water doesn't collect in the high spots of a dip, but it may cover it if the low spots are all full, hell I drove on the totally opposite side of a parking lot today avoiding that shit.

If it was that big that you had no choice but to go through it then you should be slowing right the hell down and maybe just turning around and going to hell home. I have NO traction on my car (no rubber left) when this rain crap hit, I was doing 15below the speed limit, slow slow acceleration and onyl driving to and from work, the road conditions are shitty, you avoid them.

When you get back from court and if you get non-guilty I'm going to call their asses or go down myself and give them my point of view because YOU were partially at fault, if you ask me it shoudl 50-50, your stupidty and his stupidty, same thing so it shoudl be split down the middle.

If your coming here for Automotive help, don't post your stupidity and lack of commen comprehension on the boards about your mistakes while crashing and driving through town, this isn't a fucking road hazard forum.

[duffspec]

Ouch, dude I think your shit out of luck. I would consider seriously talking to someone like Kavy said, but make sure your persistant.

R U talking about the big pot hole/puddle right in front of the Red Condos by mount royal. If so I almost got side swiped today by someone trying to avoid it...what a hazard.

[finboy]

+1 for ban

Nope sorry this is in medicine hat.

AllShowNoGo: Again what makes you think i was "speeding through it" I was going like maybe 10km.
Finboy: I did nothing to get banned so sorry to disapoint you. I took it to PM like has been preached over and over again. Maybe next time

This is horrible, its getting to the point where people (I) cant even ask questions without getting flammed. So please close this thread I will take questions like this elsewhere

It is all your fault.

Why would you want to survey damage after a storm??...Oh wait, are you a City Planner??...No??...ok then I ask again. Why would you want to go out after a storm to survey damage??

If you had just stayed home comfy in your Power Rangers bed like teh Weather Office warnings and the City Warnings had told you to, you would NOT be in the predicament.

So again,

It is all your fault.
