In what manner???????
C
Seems pretty obvious “how” but I bet the underside of that car is destroyed.
L
What gets me is that there are no tire tracks in the grass, and noticeable damage to the concrete ledge, nor is the gravel disturbed. EDIT: Maybe it’s art? I think it’s trying to say something about society.
R
I drive on my lawn to park a trailer in my backyard. If the lawn is dry, it doesn’t leave any tracks after about 5 minutes. He could have driven straight in, looking at how brown the lawn is.
T
My cousin once took out the key from the ignition in the car I was in and that he was driving “because he suddenly became curious as to what would happen”. What HAPPENED WAS that the steering lock kicked in and he drove the car off an embankment and we went airborne for like 1 to 2 seconds. No skidmarks there either. So yea, in the image above I would be MORE SURPRISED if cars did NOT end up in there on a semi regular basis.
S
if you look at the nearest left corner of the pit, just above it are tire tracks, but the angle would suggest they plowed into the wall if it’s that cars tracks.
T
I mean it’s a bmw.
Y
The ultimate driving machine

C
And did it all without a functioning turn signal.
T
Either that or someone’s buddies played a prank with some portable loading ramps
G
Where are the tire tracks in the grass though? I mean wouldn’t we see a clear set of tire marks from the road through the grass leading to this odd structure?
L
There’s two sets of tracks. Both on the left side of the pit. One set behind the bmw near the corner making it look like they came in on an angle or the set in front of the car making it look like it backed in. I’m guessing it drove straight in at an angle and hit the other side of the pit while falling that straightened them out and kept them level.
M
I think a better question might be “Why is there a giant pit next to the road?”
F
How else would they trap this BMW?
T
Yeah but they were hunting jaguars.
L
Should’ve put it outside the nearest repair shop in that case
A
Ayoo!
Z
Shop rolls out their specialty built lift for yoinking cars out of the hole lol
L
Jags come standard with it in the trunk lol
G
Hey mate I drive a Jag and… yeah, you’re kinda right
T
You have a [Jaaaggg](https://youtu.be/yOiqd8eQ8tI)?
G
It’s funny cos it’s true!
B
Or the even rarer cougar
S

T
Needs more Bald Eagle beaks…
L
Given that they’re quite Mercurial, it is difficult to predict where best to put the pit.
V
This pit is nowhere near a Miami Beach nightclub
S
A Ram would get out of that trap, no problem
T
[like this](https://youtu.be/uM8h22DeTbA?si=4WSFUJoruzN-3sx6)?
R
Block the driver and tell him you won’t move until he shows you how to use blinkers?
J
Sort of like Dolan’s Cadillac by Stephen King.
F
That’s a deep cut
A
It’s water retention for flood control. There should probably be a fence or at least a sign though.

Maybe that’s what the blurred sign just beyond the hole says. Something to look up at after you’ve fallen in. lol
T
Tow truck advertising

“Have you fallen into an unmarked drainage ditch? Call the Law Offices of Hupy and Abraham”
C
Ideally a grate across the top
R
That’s the answer right? Only one that makes sense to me.
C
Probably should have the sign BEFORE the hole
B
Yes. In general, these are often called a “French Drain.” The gravel is there to retard debris buildup and keep the surface of standing water below the gravel. They can also be placed under landscaping fabric and turf, under driveways or walkways…
T
I mean a fence wouldn’t have stopped a car. A guardrail would but also look how far away from the road it is. At what point are you just at your own risk here
X
If you swerve off the road for any reason, that reason might be out of your control, you shouldn’t also end up in a pit. That could turn a minor issue into a deadly accident. There should absolutely be a guardrail
[
Never heard of a pit stop? /s
T

B
Reminds me of Dolan’s Cadillac by Stephen King

Things have gone very wrong if you’re already that far off the roadway. There are countless things that would be very bad to drive a car on/into on every roadway. Heck you can see more in this picture further up, like that building… There’s no lawsuit here
N
There cannot be a giant open pit that people can fall into *anywhere*. Not even temporary holes well past the property line. Preventing people from falling into pits is the reason why fences go up around construction zones. It is absolutely a lawsuit. It doesn’t matter where a dangerous hole is. It matters that it is *dangerous*. It’s not about BMWs going off the road. It’s kids falling to their death.

The steep slope just makes it appear closer. Look at the other end. The grass buffer is wider than the car+ the walk, and curb. That’s over 20′ off a low speed corridor. There are often trees closer to the roadway that will kill a driver on impact, but y’all never worry about them. This drainage is likely far enough off the roadway it doesn’t warrant any sort of protection. Any sort of barrier put up would just be something cars will be more likely to hit and statistically they shouldn’t make it over the sidewalk up a hill and into a drainage structure. Which is why there is no barrier.
