1/16/2012 7:25:00 AM
Most local drivers will have at some time or another seen or driven over a pothole in Lufkin TX. Auto insurance may cover damage to your vehicle if you have comprehensive coverage; however, if you’ve hit or seen a pothole that is likely to cause problems for other drivers, did you know you can report it to the Department of Transportation?
Potholes often occur after a heavy shower or a few rainy days. That’s because what causes potholes is the water seeping through cracks and weakening the previously solid surface. Often, hitting a pothole accidentally is just mildly annoying, but occasionally, if the pothole is large enough it can do some damage to a vehicle. You probably avoid more than you hit, but in heavy we don’t always see a pothole until it’s too late, or we might be unable to avoid it safely.
When it’s just a small pothole, we tend to drive on without thinking much about it however the chances are it’s going to get bigger until it’s noticed and repaired. The Texas DOT has an online system for reporting potholes, so next time you spot one, consider reporting it.
