Do we now reside In pothole city

In our case we should adopt a variation of same that goes something like ‘when life gives you potholes, make pothole-ade’. Just kidding – don’t drink that. Our potholes have now crashed into the list of national concerns and nicely wedged themselves between the health sector and public service salaries. This was a silent creep that got louder and louder after the recent floods. My GPS doesn't say ‘turn left’; it says, ‘brace yourself for impact in 500 metres.’ Driving in most city roads has now turned into a quest to get to your destination with all four tyres still attached and your dental fillings intact.

Our vehicles suffer quite a lot. A long time ago before potholes came into fashion my vehicle dashboard had two orange lights and a red one which I nicely ignored and kept driving without any issues. Now thanks to the potholes the number of dashboard lights is around eight.
