That's a good point. I never actually considered that. Not that it matters much; ours is a communal mailbox system, and all that we ever get is junk mail anyway, so the kid gets off with checking it once a week or so.I delivered mail for 25 years and I've seen 20 boxes taken out by the snowplows for every box taken out by a car. Heavy wet snow from a plow going 50 does it!
There was a story going around a while back about a drunk driver who would routinely leave his local bar and purposefully hit every garbage can he could along the way. One day in winter (this took place in Canada), a neighbour of the pub had had enough of having his cans demolished, so he filled his can (it was a big one, but I forget how big) with water and let it freeze into a giant block of ice. Drunk does his thing driving home until he reaches said can, at which point his engine crumple zone does its job, and he had to stagger back home leaving the remains of his car and the iceberg it had run into.
