Complaint is not related to an accident. it's to report a highway safety concern. there's a concrete spot on interstate i95 between mile markers 102 and 103 in georgia that i deem needs some attention. as you cross this area it causes your vehicle to hop. it may not be too much a problem for light trucks and cars but for heavy trucks and vehicles towing trailers it can get unsafe as you often try to find the best way to cross the area without losing control. your attention to this matter or passing it on to the appropriate agency would be greatly appreciated. thank you. *jb |
