In spite of evidence to the contrary, there are only 2 seasons in Michigan. Construction Season & Non-Construction Season. With the snow and ice that make it necessary to heavily salt our roads, the thawing and re-freezing is more than the asphalt can bear. Thus the breakdown of our road systems which becomes painfully evident to your car during the Non-Construction Season...particularly during winter.
It seems that this year has been particularly bad. I find myself feeling as though I'm weaving through traffic as I try to avoid some of the biggest Whoppers that I've seen in recent memory. These potholes are scary. Sometimes the jarring is so bad, you feel sorry for your poor car! I'm not alone.
The Grand Rapids Press announced that there is a New Contest being announced for the Photograph of the Biggest Pothole! Apparently, a lot of drivers are experiencing real frustration that our roads which used to be some of the best in the nation are now in such disrepair. But, I'm left wondering...How are people going to get those pictures? That exercise alone could be hazardous to your health!
