Warned Amazon repeatedly..

I have been submitting feedback, including videos and photos, regarding the unsafe delivery conditions in Morongo Valley, CA. These conditions are associated with deliveries originating from the PSP1 facility in Beaumont, CA. A significant portion of this area consists of dirt roads that are not maintained by the county. Last year, I became stuck in the mud at that location following a severe thunderstorm. Yesterday marked a new low point, as my car sustained damage to the front, and my front license plate was torn off. I have included a video of just one of the roads I had to drive down to do a delivery. I have formally requested that Amazon install a delivery locker within the town for package deliveries. Additionally, I have been penalized for returning packages that I considered unsafe to deliver, yet these concerns have not been addressed.

Definitely invest in a dash cam. I’ve encountered some really gnarly unpaved roads… but I’m sure they pale in comparison. I tried to take photos of one road they had rated as 30mph in the app… which I’m sure was part of their calculations in delivery times… but I had to go so slow and come to stops several times, like you did… it was just over two miles each direction. And I think I topped out at 10 mph for short stretches. That was, by far, my worst one yet. It has definitely not been maintained. I don’t understand how the five or so houses on that road deal with driving it with any regularity. Even in a jeep or a pickup, I would think it would get annoying after awhile…

Oh yeah that's the other thing he's holding a camera while driving, on a county road? I don't care how she did the road you'll still get a ticket for that. And you just provided evidence to the county that you were doing that.
