HOW DO CREWS FIX POTHOLES?
A pothole is typically fixed by cleaning out the loose debris and filling it with hot or cold asphalt patch.
WHAT PRECAUTIONS CAN I TAKE TO DRIVE SAFELY DURING POTHOLE SEASON?
- Keep your tires properly inflated. An improperly inflated tire is more likely to burst when it hits a pothole.
- Maintain a safe speed.
- Avoid potholes safely.
- Beware of other cars or truck swerving to avoid potholes.
- Be extra careful at night if there is a possibility of potholes.
- Be extra cautious around puddles- they could be potholes filled with water.
- Have your suspension and steering components checked out by a qualified mechanic. Responsive steering will help you avoid potholes. Shocks, struts, and springs help cushion the blow.
