Like we mentioned before, a lot of times potholes and other road damage is or seems to be unavoidable. But if you follow these tips, you’ll at least be prepared to do everything you can to avoid these hazards. First of all, and this should be true at all times, you need to stay alert and keep your eyes firmly focused on the road ahead of you so you have time to slow down when you see a pothole or other road hazard. Because the slower you’re going, the less damage is going to occur. Other pothole avoidance tips include keeping an eye out for standing water that could be hiding a pothole and reporting any and all potholes and other road damage to your local transportation authority. They may not always be the most responsive, but any repaired pothole is a victory.
