Watch out for those slippery lines on the roads

^arg!^

Drain access covers are trouble 3 fold. You get a proper jolt, they're slippery, but also they're a size where steering round them can take you into the path if overtaking or oncoming traffic.

I hate having to panic-steer round them without having time to glance over my shoulder.

I know all cyclists know this... but perhaps there should be a push to get the covers coated with tar and grit, so they aren't a 'certain fail' if you hit one in the wet.

This has been discussed by councils and I think they have them somewhere.
