We have some of the worst roads in the country where I live. In some places it's more patch than road. Even when they do patch it the patches usually come up in a week. Often it's not about swerving to avoid pot holes it's more like you have to pick a path in the road to go over the better ones while avoiding the really bad ones. There are some counties around here that are thinking about tearing up pavement in some areas and turning some roads back into dirt roads to save money on maintenance.
