What the pothole?

Huge pothole on Homelake Avenue can cause serious damage to motorists' vehicles.

If the roads weren’t a problem before, the majority of them are now littered with huge potholes that seemly appeared overnight.

They pose a danger to your vehicle, especially when they are filled with water, because motorists do not realise that they are there or how big they are.

After all the rain, Homestead Avenue has become a risk, with drivers not only having to use the oncoming lane, but sometimes drive in the middle of the road to dodge the potholes. All of this cause unnecessary traffic-flow problems.

The big concern is for the vehicle’s shock absorbers, tyres and rims. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes until the problems can be solved.

If you have had a unfortunate encounter with a pothole, you can read the following article that explains how one can claim for damages from the municipality:
