    We have an enormous surplus of tax revenue here yet nothing but potholes and crime. The only good I see is that the drive-by aiming is usually very inaccurate.

    Oops, he’s not wearing a seatbelt. (Unless it’s an older model that doesn’t come equipped with shoulder straps) My favorite bumper sticker: “Hug your Kids at Home, Belt them in the Car”

    And he deliberately stopped next to a big pot-hole when he pulled over. He’s lucky the officer didn’t order him to get out.

    You know, for all the crap I give my town about infrastructure, I haven’t hit a pothole in ages. …railroad tracks though, sheesh!

    I’ve zigged and zagged around pot holes and man holes on certain roads and wondered if I would get stopped for it. Then I started to see other drivers in my mirrors doing the same thing so I stopped worrying about it.

    This actually happened to me. Except the cop thought there was something wrong with my car. Ironically, I was on my way to an AA meeting, lol.

    They are good about filling in potholes here, but when we go to our daughter’s, we play that amazing game of Dodge the Potholes….. not an easy game!

    “I’m not pulling you over; we’re being paid to stand in the potholes so drivers will (hopefully) swerve.” Cheaper for the city than repairing the roads. Kind of like the state troopers who park their cars at the entrance to highway construction sites…

    Surely the officer should be able to relate to the driver. I have this SINKING feeling that he does

    My brother and I used to drive on a really rough unpaved road as a short cut when we were growing up. Our comment was the only way to know if you were on the road or driving through the forest was the forest had trees. I live in San Diego now and the pot holes are really bad.

    Reminds me of a time I was driving over a bridge and there was a pothole so deep you could see straight down into the river below.
