The manhole cover sits too low since the road was resurfaced
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
I've been caught out a couple of times heading from Thame to Tiddington. The manhole cover sits far too low in the road and motorists are swerving to avoid it rather than go over it. You don't see it until you're literally on top of it. Especially dangerous for motorcycles. What3words is ///discloses.deals.unfocused

Unfortunately I am unable to stop safely and take a photo, but the what 3 words location is accurate.
