Looks like a typical upstanding, law-abiding citizen to me.

“I cant imagine hitting the open hole with a car......major, major damage.”
In Managua, Nicaragua, on the 6 lane divided highway going to the airport, they had a open rectangular manhole that looked about 3 feet by 5 feet. It also looked 4+ feet deep.
Thankfully, it was in the center of the middle lane and I managed to straddle it the first time I saw it.

Manhole cover, drinking water Manhole cover, dated 1997, Reparto San Juan, Managua. Compared to the older manhole covers here in Nicaragua, all of a sudden this one is in plastic and from Texas. Now that tells you something, I guess.

That’s not a manhole cover. It is a water meter cover. They use them to replace broken cast iron ones and for the new installation of water meters.
The small rectangle opening in the center is to allow access for meter reading and operating the valve. I have one.

Ever watch cowboys playing poker in the old westerns? Making hundred dollar bets and more and the average wage was probably $30 per month.

When we lived in Managua in 2004, there was a steady stream of trucks on Highway coming down the hill from the south and carrying scrap steel & iron. They were scouring the bushes for old cars, trucks, farm machinery, etc.
Unfortunately, the powers that be had decided to put a series of speed bumps in the middle of this long hill. One evening a semi load of scrap hit those bumps, lost control and hit a 10 foot high concrete wall near our neighborhood.
All that scrap came forward into the cab of the truck, which was now sitting on a small pickup truck which had been heading up the hill.
What a mess!
