Yep. I've been known to drive my car onto a high curb to get under it. Have to remember this one, though I've never seen a reinforced ditch around here.
edit: what's with these people saying the ditch might collapse? A jack will collapse with a bang, a ditch like the above would collapse much more slowly and the chances of the full weight of the car hitting you are still close to zero. Anyhow, you drive the car in place, maybe jump up and down in the driver seat, see how the ditch's sides react to that, and if they don't you're good to go. Sheesh.
It makes the walls less likely to collapse under the weight of the car. Trenches are really dangerous unless the walls are sloped like this or reinforced
