A couple weeks ago I was driving home at night and all the sudden I saw something on the road (thank heavens for my H4 upgrade lights!!)...it was a MANHOLE COVER laying in the street! Also present: Open Manholes! The crew working half a mile away had taken out all the covers and left them on the street, with no barrels, cones, or warnings of any kind. Just a dark road with open manholes and huge heavy lids sitting on the street!!!
I swerved like crazy and managed to miss everything.
(I was super lucky, there was like 5 of them!!) A friend of mine here at work was not so lucky, he went down the same stretch later that night and hit either a cover or an open manhole (he's not sure which) with his Kia Rio....blew out the tire/bent the rim/severely damaged the suspension....had to be towed away.... Insanity! He had swerved to avoid a cover but the rear wheel clipped either the cover or the hole. Its been in the shop for weeks....
What is wrong with those road workers?!
