(Photo by Ben Hasty/MediaNews Group/Reading Eagle via Getty Images) Ever been the victim of a pothole? That sinking feeling when you drive full speed over a deep rut in the road never fails to give a fearful jolt.Between the risk of bottoming out or damaging a tire, those fears aren’t so outlandish, based on a variety of statistics.TRAFFIC IS NOW THE WORST IN THESE 5 U.S. CITIES – IS YOURS HERE?For all those who are setting off on spring and summer road trips this year — and at the peak of pothole season — here are a few key things to know before hitting the road.In 2021, one in 10 drivers who hit a pothole sustained enough damage to warrant repairs, according to a new survey from AAA.The average $600 price tag on pothole-related repairs — last year alone — cost drivers a total of $26.5 billion, said AAA. Pothole victims are also likely to have a second incident requiring repairs, bringing attention to the need for winter road repairs."Winter roads will likely give way to pothole-laden obstacle courses," Greg Brannon, AAA’s director of automotive engineering, said in a statement. "When a vehicle hits a pothole with any kind of force, the tires, wheels and suspension get the brunt of the impact and fixing any of those items is pricey."AAA received 1.8 million tire-related roadside assistance calls in the winter and spring of 2021, the organization said.NY MAN CYCLING ACROSS AMERICA FALLS IN LOVE WITH CINCINNATIPotholes are formed from moisture collected in cracks and crevices that expand and contract due to cool temperature fluctuation. The weight of passing vehicles breaks up the pavement, eventually creating a deep hole known for wreaking havoc mostly on tires, alignment,

Canada’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Theresa Tam said Tuesday during a COVID-19 update that mask-wearing is recommended despite provinces ending their mandates, calling it a “transition period.” Tam said “we are in a difficult period, we call it the transition period, not only is the virus trying to find its way in the world and transitioning – and we’re transitioning from what I would hope is the acute crisis phase but into the somewhat unknown, uncertain territory of viral evolution.
