It's Time For Everyone's Favorite Spring Time Game.

Guess How Deep That Pothole Really is?

I know that there is nothing funny about potholes. They cause serious damage to vehicles every year.

 

Please share your Canadian pothole finds or comments here.

Not much of a story but I hit one pretty hard tonight, on the bi hi on my way out to Bayers Lake. Hard enough that I'll probably need my car looked at:( It's that time of year though when all the winter frost, cold, snow and rain reeks havoc on the roads causing nasty pot holes. I think, so the article below eludes, you can make a claim against the city if your car is badly damaged by one.

I expect Halifax will be broke this year from all the damage I've seen. Not sure what it is but this year is horrendous for holes and chipped top layers. It's like an obstacle course.

Not too bad here in Gander... a few bridges on he TCH very bad, especially one before the Town of Appleton! Already a few collisions because of the bad condition! I don't know if complaining is good enough this days!

 

Just saying!

I swear that Sudbury is the City Of Potholes and not The City Of Lakes that they so proudly proclaim. I saw a Cavelier almost swallowed whole the other morning on Regent Street. I will post some pictures soon!

Most potholes I don't mind just ducking around; it's the potholes on the bridges that get me worried! :)
