Learn to make comprehensive excuses. Sorry, have to pass on this one but will look forward to the next order in line.
You'll simply have to learn to deal with dangerous areas and unexpected events if you're a field appraiser. No way around it unless you are willing to cut the entire county out of your coverage area.
I do that. Denver county is not on my menu for most clients. I'll drive two hours around to the furthest reaches rather than zip down a half hour into Denver. It's no bueno. Last time I was down there I saw a drugged up naked dude with only a shirt on and his wang a hanging and his pants around his ankles, then this guard dog charged out of the junkyard and bit him on the *** and growled at him and he barely noticed and just walked along in a haze. True story.
Well, that's a comp pic I'll never forget. Every damned time.
Then before that I was on an early morning inspection and I made the grave error of driving through Denver instead of around Denver, and a party of carjacking teens screamed through red lights in an apparently stolen Tahoe or some similar large four door suv, with a duelie F250 or even a F350 type flatbed hot on their tracks. They ran me into the side of a petroleum tanker semi but thankfully because of the way the container was not square I only brushed up the mid side of the cylinder with a portion of my vehicle and did not take any real damage. But I could have been killed, my little truck was underneath part of the semi, they were almost completely in my lane and then sped off. The guy sped after them and it was insane amidst high density morning rush hour traffic.
Just another day in Denver. Why do they ride around on clown bikes in mini clown tutu's? Why is that guy playing the bagpipes on the corner? Who actually wants to live here? How many ebikes are necessary to support a community? How do they think bike lanes help when there is no parking to begin with? I'll never understand.
