There are a lot of manhole covers on the first section of my drive to work, and I commknly see people swerving all over the road just so their tires won’t touch them, even jeeps. Why?

    One I can recall did and my mom got a flipped up lid when she drove over it in a crosswalk which dented her oil pan. The city had decided a pretty brick crosswalk was a good idea where we have intense frost heave. It was not a good idea and created a fulcrum.

      I was in Oklahoma one time and I opened a lid on a road and the whole lid fell in because the frame broke as I opened it. City was just kinda like “yeah that happens” and I’m like wtf do you mean that happens?!?!
