Getting my fair share of tar

Last week, as an asphalt company was repaving a neighborhood street, they parked one of their smaller size truck next to our home. When the work shift was over, the truck left its parking location, but instead of turning around the block - a very easy task – its lazy driver chose to turn around on our brand-new driveway laid with pavers.

Of course, the tires smeared those with fresh asphalt and after some picture-taking, back and forth communication with the paving company and the City, I got a sizable check for my pain of cleaning up the tar residues left on my property. The morale of the story is to always do what it takes, right away, stand for your rights and get something in return!
