If I break the plates, you might be able to get restitution from me. You can't get that from a bumpy road. Also, you might be able to avoid broken plates in the first place by threatening me with jail time. You can't threaten a road into being less rough. The intention of a person completely changes the threat profile and mitigation strategy, that's why it's a big deal.
