Putting up a sign saying that there are man hole covers raised or lose is no defence .If the road is in general use ,which you say it is because you where on your way to work so presumably the road is used by many people then it must be in a condition to be used safely without causing damage to vehicles .Can you give more detail on why the man hole covers are raised ,is it because the road is a new road unfinished or is it being resurfaced .

No they haven't ,it's like VM putting up a sign saying there are holes in the road because we are laying cables but failing to ensure that people don't fall down the holes .In this case the manholes should have been coned off to ensure that people don't drive over them
