Have you ever tried dealing with a state department? Been there (several
times) and didn't even get a lousy tee shirt. I was sure that after in one
year a trooper had been rear ended and a motorcyclist KILLED at that
intersection something would be done. I was on that same road last year and
there was a change. . .they repainted the lines.
Remember you can't sue the state w/o its permission.
