You really should retrieve that screwdriver as soon as possible. If you “let it take care of itself”, who knows where it will end up. Into a following motorcyclist, an unlucky pedestrian, or through some poor motorist’s tire?

I’ve actually seen that happen during a race. A screwdriver fell out of the car in front of me and another car ran over it. It ruined his tire (and race).

Good point, noted. I'll hopefully have it lifted tomorrow.
