    This is dumb as shit because canadian winters are much more harsh than UK. Asphalt degrades faster in harsher winters. Doubt they’re hitting -50C in the middle of January

      Don’t underestimate just how badly we Brits maintain the roads.

      The whole country is a patchwork mess.

        My local MP came around yesterday to brag that he and the local Tory councillor have made plans to fix a pothole nearby.

        The bar is so low it’s below the floor.

    I visited South Korea and drove while I was there, they had loads of fake speed bumps where they were just painted on but had no actual bump. Definitely made you slow down if you didn’t know the area.

    They also had lots of poles with flashing blue and red lights, so you thought there were cops ahead until you got close enough to realise it was just a pole.

    The place is playing full-on psychic warfare on the roads.

      Imagine you thought that the 3rd one was another fake, but it was real one. Car got almost destroyed.
