    An other tip is to stay out of the slow lane, or the lane closes to the curb. The road usually begins braking up along the curb.

    Does it help to over inflate your tires a little bit?

  • @dennyj8650
    @dennyj8650 Před rokem +1

    Get as tall a sidewall as you can! The low profile/skinny sidewall tires are notoriously vulnerable to potholes! And aluminum/alloy wheels will simply break. No mention at all of technology helping prevent potholes in the video.

    Actually the main reason for pothole in the road is due to burning like tyer wood and also improper drainage systems

    why western european countries have better roads? do those countries spend more on road maintenance or it has something to do with the weather condition?

    • @vladgeorge7467
      @vladgeorge7467 Před 7 lety +1

      Nothing better with the weather, Germany and UK for example have a bad weather for asphalt, yet their roads are one of the best in whole Europe. It's just the way they build and maintain things.

      Using more expensive materials to start with, then hiring really good engineers to make sure the base is strong, so cracks won't happen.

    • @augustopinochet6899
      @augustopinochet6899 Před 3 lety +1

      The US and Canada are also larger and thus less dense as nations. Due to that, there is just more road and less income to cover it. Most people in the EU live in cities and villages

  • @slowdownmoveoversharethero9701

    You cant really avoid Pot holes because if a cop saw you swerving they will think its a DUI and pull you over and figure out what wrong. Just recnetly a femail out of cleveland,OH was ticketd for avoiding pot holes. If a cyclist hits a pot hole not only it can damage its bike but it can do bad damage and the rider can get seriously hurt.

      Except when it’s raining, and the pothole is filled with water. Then it just looks like a flat piece of road. Just happened to me last week, blew out a tire and bent a rim. $700 worth of damage.
