“It’s a service trench that relates to active, permitted work” would involve workers actively working.

expects the work to be completed by the end of May,

Absolutely agreed. They just completed some road with in my area, and anything out of the ordinary was either painted orange, and/or marked with a cone, and/or marked with saw horses, and/or covered with metal plates after every work shift when there wasn’t a flagger present

If a temp patch or backfilled ditch starts to collapse, the crew should get called out ASAP and at least add more, pretty common after major storms. If it is an active project, then that fill temp fill collapsing is more like a when and those crews know full well it won’t survive weeks, with how poorly they get back…

That is BS.

Recognising his error, Schwarzenegger went to get a shovel to dig out the hole. He apologised, saying “I’ll be back”.

If it was bad enough to apparently be damaging vehicles, sounds like there should have been some temporary cover used when not actively being worked on? I’ve seen that done before.

No idiotroll They were not repo’ed since the towing company auctioned them- the bank has to do that with repo’s!

Quit lying since Repossessed cars go to the lender to be auctioned off not the tow company! FYI: Lenders also have to follow this law!

These cars were not repossessed though. That’s why the tow company was able to auction them off for profit as “abandoned” vehicles since they weren’t claimed in a short time window. A lot of times the deployed servicemember didn’t even know there was an issue until they got home after being gone for 6-7 months only to…

They weren’t repos if the tow company was able to auction off the cars. Repos get returned to the lender and they handle what happens to those vehicles be it returned to the debtor if they pay or sent to auction. Not the tow company. These cars were probably targeted because they must have been parked in the same spot…

If a person decides to open a business and doesn’t bother to know the laws and regulations concerning that type of business, that person is a fool. 

You don’t know about it because it doesn’t concern your business. A towing company can be reasonably assumed to be on top of laws concerning towing.

Imagine having your land cruiser stolen, then find out you're going to get $8k for it in this market. I'd be PRETTY concerned that sniper is coming after me if I was Steve's towing. I bet they took in $200k on those vehicles, and had to pay 90. That'll sure teach them. 

Or the profits the tow company made either

This doesn’t sound like a win. The settlement sounds like bs that doesn’t reflect the replacement value of the vehicles or the personal items inside.

I believe the Texas mile is a standing mile where they shoot for the greatest average speed over the course of a mile. Acceleration and top speed are paramount.

Obviously the guy is lying. What I’m more confused by is how a near-stock Supra won anything? Don’t know how the Texas Mile works, but it’s either straight-up top speed, or classed, and either way, I just don’t see the Supra beating out all its competitors. It’s fast, but 160 mph (in context here) is not that fast.

Funny that it would take the Uber CEO and a handful of other executives getting behind the wheel, and experiencing the technical difficulties and stresses drivers face first-hand (as well as the rudeness of Uber riders) to change things.

Manglement.
