Wait, do we? Damn man, you're scaring me enough to be afraid to drive D:

How do these things happen anyway? Is it just earth going "lolnope" and opening a rocky anus?

Googled a bit around and found:

"Almost unpreventable or detectable without expensive equipment and testing."
fuck.

Also how they are created:

"Groundwater erodes away the limestone underground over time. The soil above it eventually caves in on the void.
They could be filled in, but you have to know they are there."

Limestone is very common in Europe. Thanks Mave, now I'm paranoid as fuck.
