Called their office today to inform them of a safety concern.
As their crew left their HQ I noticed they were towing a trailer with a small backhoe... and that the trailer lights were not functioning at all. On top of that the right marker was completely missing.
Figuring I'd save them the headache of a potential accident (that would clearly be their fault for failure to signal) I gave them a quick call, Cathy answered.
She quickly told me that the lights just must be out. I tried to inform her it was more than that as the right marker was absent... no light at all. She proceeded to tell me they only needed a left and that the right was not required.
What?!? That makes no sense... Here I am trying to help your business and you're getting defensive and snarky... wow.
Upon further review, per Oregon Law she appears to be incorrect (as I guessed). Only needing a left signal and not needing a right makes no sense and is completely inaccurate.
I'm sure your company can afford a huge payout due to negligence- your choice.
