People Share The Worst Roads In Their Countries After Brit ‘Complains’ About A Potholed Street And Here Are 43 Of The Scariest Ones
You don’t really care about how bad a road is until you are the one using said bad road. The same applies to snow in winter—you don’t really care about it until all of your regular parking spots become piles of snow and you can’t but try and improvise your parking until the snow melts.
Anyway, this British humor without context page on Twitter, very appropriately called No Context Brits, has recently shared a picture of a pretty rough road—one that has been patched up so much, it’s just ridiculous at this point.

And while the post got almost 95,000 likes with over 10,300 retweets and 21,100 quote tweets, turns out this bit of road wasn’t all that bad, as it spawned a slew of responses showing off all of the more horrible roads around the world.

This made me laugh way too hard!!! I am South African, I need say no more......
In Portland, Oregon they don't drink and drive, they smoke weed and fly
funny enough this is what most main roads in Las Vegas look like too
Could it be possible that someone ran over it with an armored vehicle? Who knows ...
Is the new road empty because everyone is still trying to get off the old road?
If you want to find a bad road, check out General de Gaulle Drive on the New Orleans city limit on the Westbank. There are blocks there than you can't drive over faster than about 2 mph unless you want to lose the bottom of your car. I moved away from that area right before Katrina, but I'll bet that road still looks *exactly* the same.
Here in the U.S. Republican senators just refused to even consider voting on an infrastructure bill. I suppose because good roads would make it to easy for people to get vaccinated and vote.
The US has so many bridges on the verge of falling down. I hope the GOP is on one when it falls into a river.
Well, they just want politicians to pick the voters instead of the voters picking the politicians. Almost the same thing. /s
And would aid our economic infrastructure, but they ignore that part...
For context with UK potholes, they used to be very rare. We don't have much ice, our rainfall is spread evenly through the year, 95% of the country has solid geology and roads underwent regular maintenance. Then the government cut the maintenance budget to save money. They didn't save a penny as more money was spent fixing undrivable roads and damaged vehicles. So they decided to pass a bill making potholes not the government's responsibility.
This man drew attention to the potholes in his town by spray painting uh,,,well...the URL says it all. Brilliant! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/07/new-zealand-man-threatened-with-prosecution-over-penis-pothole-drawings
