if google's property is blocking the road, google can pay for the damage
- philipallstar 10mo agoAs long as you're happy that if your property ever blocks the road, you will pay for the damage too.
- blibble 10mo agoabsolutely don't be a dick, don't block the road
- solid_fuel 10mo ago> As long as you're happy that if your property ever blocks the road, you will pay for the damage too. Pretty sure that's always the expectation? It's typical to tow illegally parked cars, smash windows to run hoses through cars blocking hydrants, etc. The only unusual thing here would be holding a corporation to account the way we hold individuals to account.
- philipallstar 10mo agoA broken down car isn't illegally parked.
- catlikesshrimp 10mo agoA broken down car is also towed when needed.
- philipallstar 10mo agoYes, to get it fixed.
- potato3732842 10mo agoThe cops will have it towed at usurious expense to the owner if the owner doesn't get it towed faster.
- solid_fuel 10mo agoBut none the less, it is the owner who pays to have it towed.
- Rebelgecko 10mo agoDuh?
- ziml77 10mo agoNo I won't be happy about it, but yes if I block emergency services and they need to damage my property then I am absolutely the one who should have to pay.
- phil21 10mo agoThis is the current norm. If you are parked in front of a fire hydrant or in a fire lane when the needful happens, the fire department will remove you with prejudice. My few volunteer fire department family members take a certain gleeful joy in expediting your exit from the area when the rare opportunity presents itself. Chances are the damage will be solely on your vehicle, as fire trucks and police vehicles are equipped to push stuff off the road without damage to their equipment.

- autoexec 10mo agoJust paying for the physical damage isn't enough. It should also come with massive fines for obstructing emergency vehicles.
- mmooss 10mo agoThat doesn't bring people back to life or restore quality of life for life-changing injuries.
