Somehow once you drive on it I don't believe you will be 4" high anymore...
And it actually is addressed somewhat in the manual:

While this isn't really a rule, it suggests that it wouldn't be advised to drive on game pieces, and would be against the spirit of this and other rules (namely no damaging field elements).
