    Not going to go into details but I accidentally went into a private neighborhood and I ran through a cable line that was way too low in the middle of the street and it snapped. how long will it take to hear about it from corporate? I didn't report it I just kept going. if I don't hear about it after a day should I be in the clear?

    Did anyone see you?
    Downside about running through a neighborhood is than likely someone has a security camera. Is your truck covered in decals?

    I bet a few residents seen you do it and already reported it to your company or the cops.One more thing don't be blaming the line being too low you need to be focused on your surroundings at all times.

    Well given it was a neighborhood, the line probably wasn't 'too low'......for the cars that are supposed to be there.

    I don't think so the line was in a secluded spot just before I hit houses. There was however a pickup truck that was pulling out of the driveway while I was at a stop sign ready to drive out of the neighborhood but I had to wait for traffic to go through he was already in his truck when it had happened so I'm pretty sure he didn't see what had happened. he was behind me and I thought he was following me but then he turned in another Street it happened this morning so so far so good
