A properly installed head should be flush with the ground and shouldn’t be damaged by driving over them. None of mine are close enough to the street where a vehicle will hit them. I’ll go without for a while and see if I’m right or learn the hard way.
If someone parks on the street and drives over them like we have had happen a few times you will understand why these are good.
