How to avoid potholes

AAA offers tips to avoid potholes and minimize damage.

• Beware of puddles, which often are potholes in disguise.
• Be alert and scan the road ahead for potholes.
• Increase following distance so potholes aren’t hidden by a car ahead of the driver.
• Don’t speed. Slowing down will increase the chance of avoiding a pothole and reduce potential damage from hitting one.
