Okay, first off the body kit is not on the front end of the car since my sister hit smack it off last month, Re: hence the pictures in the spotted category.
Second, I know I could have gone around after I went thru it, but it would have meant back tracking, by either turning around in the middle of the intersection (which I wouldn't do), to head back to hwy # 10 just to use Derry rd. which would have added an extra 45 minutes on to the drive to work, or going down McMurchy ave using all the side streets that were plowed in already from them already plowing out McMurchy ave. and running the risk of getting stuck.
Third, I'm not looking for them to pay for the full damages because I know, I made the choice at the last minute to go thru it, I just wanted them to take responsiblity for possibly causing more then mine alone (the collision). I told the all the people I talked to I'm not looking for them to pay for the damage, I just want them to know what happened so that something like this could have been avoided. And Hey, If I they do admit fault it's not a bad thing either, I'd be happy if they only paid my deductible as a result ($500).
But getting back on topic:
The side street they plowed out was McMurchy ave at a " T " intersection (soon to be a crossway into another new housing development) at Steels Ave, in Brampton.
I will state that I did talk to the Police about this, and the officer I talked to told me to take it up with the city because they did plow out McMurchy ave onto Steels blocking the road way (all 4 lanes), and they are at fault for doing so. The officer quoted me this " Mainly they are at fault, because they obstructed the road way when they plowed out, and you should talk to someone in City hall about it".
The City said because it's under the Region's roadways it's something to talk to them about, and I did and they told me that they will look into the matter. But I'm going to go back and quote my third statement there.
I'm sure though if most of you could not make a full stop in the conditions that were ongoing that night, and you only had about 20 - 30 feet in front of you and your skidding like your on black ice. I'm sure a lot of you would have chosen to go thru it with what little control you had left. :hitit:
