(Undated) – The freeze and thaw this time of year combined with wet weather means one thing, potholes. IDOT Engineer, Joe Monroe, says there is no shortage of potholes on state roads and crews are staying busy making repairs. Drivers are reminded to use caution when approaching “puddles” of water as they could be potholes in hiding. If you can’t avoid hitting a pothole, slow down before you hit it and firmly grip the wheel to help avoid losing control of your vehicle. To potentially minimize the impact that hitting a pothole can have on your car, ensure your tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended level.
