As we wave goodbye to winter, it's important to take the appropriate defense against the pesky downside of spring: potholes. Don't hit the road without these 3 things in mind:
Increase following distance: This helps to see potholes that may be
ahead and allow time to avoid them. Before swerving to avoid any pothole, check
surrounding traffic to ensure this will not cause a collision or endanger
nearby pedestrians or cyclists.
Beware of puddles – A puddle can hide a deep pothole, so if you drive
through puddles, treat them as though they all are hiding potholes.
Properly inflate tires – A properly inflated tire is more likely to absorb
the force of hitting a pothole, where a low tire will transmit the force to the
rim. Replacing a tire is much less expensive than replacing a rim!
Of course, if disaster strikes you in the form of a pothole, we've got you covered! Save big with our Pothole Special.
