We had work done in our garden last year. The workers were very thorough in their cleaning up, sweeping the drive a couple of times to get everything, and shovelling the rubbish onto their lorry. When they finished I checked too and everything seemed fine. Put my car back on the drive and discovered a flat tyre in the morning. I can only assume the screw had ended up on the road and I'd driven over it. Unlike Allotment Boy, the screw had managed to go through the side wall so I had a bill for around £100 for a new tyre.
I fell out with the AA over this sort of thing. Driving along a two lane road, minding my own business, suddenly had two flat tyres on the nearside. I assume there must have been glass or the like that I couldn't see. I walked back and still couldn't see whatever it was, so it was small enough to be embedded in the tyres. Called the AA. Can't come out because it's two tyres. They would come out for one, but two is defined as a collision so they don't cover it. I had to get a recovery truck to take me to the nearest tyre repair place.
