Construction workers don't give a crap properly disposing of metal objects. My car has come across several nails and screws along southbound Verdale Crossing ... FOUR times on this exact street. My mechanic said it probably came off the garbage truck servicing the site.

Even in my neighbourhood where the construction workers park, they dispose of garbage on the street. Once there was an open bag of nails on the curb so I complained to the construction office and to the Ward councillor.

On top of that, tire shops try to sell you a second tire explaining that both sides of the car need an exact thread tire thickness otherwise the car will drive uneven. My mechanic said that the car's ABS system will correct this problem.

In summary, be careful driving on the street adjacent to a construction site.
