Today’s batch of burning questions, my smart-aleck answers and the real deal:
Question: This question pertains to your article about road maintenance. Last spring on I-40 the grass was higher than cars roofs. Well, a pack of deer were bedded down and hiding in it, to where you couldn’t see them. As I passed the tall grass, a deer and her young un jumped out and collided with me. If DOT had cut the grass, they wouldn’t have been hiding. And if they were still there, I could’ve seen and avoided them. What can I do to get the DOT to take care of damages?
