When it comes to potholes it is best to avoid hitting them whenever possible. You can achieve that by, driving cautiously, and not tailgating, so you have more time to see and react to any potholes you are approaching.

Potholes can be hard to see in the daylight, therefore it is safe to say they are even harder to spot at night in the dark. Make sure your headlights are working and your windshield is clear.

Make sure to be cautious around puddles, as they could be potholes filled with water. Since water is a critical component to forming potholes, that puddle may be at work creating one as you drive through it.

You will want to keep a firm grip on your steering wheel as potholes can cause your vehicle to change direction suddenly. Do not swerve into an occupied lane. No one wants pothole damage to escalate to a collision causing further damage or injury
