[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3289473, member: 29706"] Bad roads are everywhere. The complaint is it always costs too much money to do it so they get worse and the cost goes up till they have no choice. The place that to me is the worst is the states with the highest fuel/road taxation with large populations. You would think their roads would be paved in gold, the problem is that they increase taxes to funnel the money to some other pet program so the money never makes it where it should. One thing to remember though is that if the pothole's have been there a while they have been reported and when damage is done to your vehicle the area responsible for the road is likely liable for the damages. I hit a HUGE pothole in OKC at one point when I was living in Lawton. Ruined not only the tires on that site but also the rims and the car needed an alignment, worst part was it was Thanksgiving night and I had to still get home. I took a hammer and beat the rim back into place as best I could and stopped multiple times to air up the tires to make it. Filed a claim with the city and they cut a check for the repairs. The next time I was in the area the road had been widened and was now concrete. They had put off repairs on the road as they were planning to upgrade the road anyway, I also have a feeling that I wasn't the only person they had to pay vehicle repairs for. [/QUOTE]
