Illinois State Police warns drivers to watch out for potholes

From the Illinois State Police- District 13

DU QUOIN – Sure! It’s beautiful out now, but yesterday’s rains left a little present for roadway users. Nasty little things, they are! They will tear up your cars, flatten your tires, and knock your front end out of alignment.

It’s an unfortunate consequence of water. One of the most powerful forces of nature, moving water is capable of ripping large holes in pavement like it was a Kleenex. Avoid moving the water in those puddles. It’ll tear up your car…

Increase your following distance to the car in front of you. It gives you more time to react. Look for the holes instead of at your phone. Can’t see them if you’re checking social media or texts 

Hope you enjoyed this humorous look at a common problem this time of year. #GiveEmaBrake as IDOT patches holes this time of year!
