A pothole is pictured here on a street. (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,

UL clarifies 2021 cargo flights to Uganda; says printed material was Ugandan currency
COLOMBO (News 1st); SriLankan Airlines issued a clarification with respect to speculation circulating on social media with respect to SriLankan Aircraft uplifting printed material to Entebbe International Airport in Uganda last year. SriLankan Airlines on Thursday (14) said it received an air cargo order to transport about 102 tons of printed material from Colombo to Entebbe International Airport in Uganda in February 2021.The consignment was purely commercial in nature and brought in much-needed foreign revenue to the airline and country at the time. SriLankan wishes to emphasize that this cargo order was undertaken for commercial reasons only, it added.The details of the cargo consignment were withheld due to contractual obligations as per air cargo industry standards said the statement.However, in response to concerns raised following the statement the national carrier tweeted to say that the Ugandan government ordered Ugandan currency notes from a global security printer who operates several factories worldwide, including one in Sri Lanka, exporting to global markets.It went on to note that SriLankan aircraft which were underutilized at this time (2021) during the pandemic were chartered by a UK-based freight forwarder.What is now being misunderstood is the Airline Pilots Guild’s proud announcement of this achievement of using unutilized pax aircraft, it added.
