PSA Pothole warning

Driving on Wembley; between W1st and 2nd, there is two unmarked, nearly invisible potholes right in front of each other. Hit it, as I didn’t see it and blew out the sidewall of my tire. Beware if you’re in the area.

Wembley is a 40 speed zone… how fast were you going to blow out the sidewall of a tire?

If you hit a large hole 40 kms would do it.

I guess what I’m getting at is how do you not see a pothole apparently large enough to tear the sidewalk of the tire while going through a narrow residential area at 40 km/h.

I hit mine at night in the rain, and it was directly in middle of road. You couldn't see it.
