MANITOBA DRIVER UPDATE: That pothole wasn't just a bump in the road!
One minute you're cruising along, minding your own business. The next…THUNK😣!
You hit a pothole and immediately wonder, “Was that bad?”
Here in Manitoba, potholes can be a real headache. And while not every bump cause damage, a hard hit can affect your tires, wheels, suspension, steering, or even parts underneath your vehicle.
Here's what to watch for after hitting a pothole:
Bulges or cuts in your tires⬇️
🔧New clunking or knocking noises
🚗Your vehicle pulling to one side
〰️Vibrations in the steering wheel
💧Unexpected fluid leaks
🚨New dashboard warning lights
Here's the important part: just because your vehicle still drives doesn't automatically mean everything is fine.
If something feels different, get it inspected. And if your vehicle is difficult to control, has serious tire damage, or is leaking fluid, stop somewhere safe and arrange assistance rather than risking the drive.
SWIPE through the carousel, save these tips, and share them with a driver who seems to attract every pothole in Southeast Manitoba!
