    Never drive too close to an AUV or other tall vehicles on provincial roads, especially if you are driving a sedan (lower or unlowered).

    It is possible for the AUV to drive OVER cat-sized rocks on the road and if you drive over that same rock with your car, it will knock dents and holes under your car from front to back. It might even crack your oil pan or tranny housing.

    In my case, I couldn't avoid the said rock and my car hit it solidly as I felt the car lift up and landed hard as the rock made its way under my car. A quick inspection showed I had a fluid leaking under the engine. I stopped at the first gas station and had my car lifted for a better inspection of the damage(s). A small hole in the power steering system was the source of the leak and was patched after an hour.

    I have seen another car (Honda Accord) where the damage was a misaligned exhaust system causing the oxygen sensor to fail.
