To the editor:
This is to share with others who had the misfortune of getting wet yellow line paint on their car.
Late one afternoon this summer, on Route 14 north-bound between Post Road and North Craftsbury Road, the road crew hired by the state engineer to paint the lines picked up their cones before the paint was dry.
here were no signs indicating road painting ahead. There were no signs the paint was still wet when they were picking up there cones to go home.
n my way home from work I encountered this. My black car wheel wells, front and back, wheel trims, lowers door panels were splashed by the familiar yellow paint we see on the road daily.
I did not see the paint when I pulled into my garage, and when I did see it, it had plenty of time to be dried on my car permanently.
he company that is responsible, as I sent them the video of the damages and the statement of the hundreds of dollars it cost to get the paint off, feels, because I cannot provide them the exact date it happened, they are not responsible.
The photos of the road, my car damage, and the fact they did indeed paint those lines, had their insurance adjuster call, and they feel they’re not responsible.
