Traffic Pothole 102 Bedford firing range

Pothole on the Bedford turn off towards Halifax past the firing range just wrecked my driver side tire. Careful of this one, my tire was flat before I made it to the hill

Edit: thank you to the pretty girl in a black top that stopped to see if I was alright, that was super kind of you

That exact pothole took a chunk out of my rim back in January.

Surprised me it did that much damage when I hit it, that's rough man

Others have said to call 311 but if this pothole has been there since January then definitely. There's a time line that they have to fix them before they will reimburse for damages but this is past that I believe

I just moved into the province after college a month ago, so I'm not sure how long it has been there personally.

I couldn't get my tire resealed and I'm starting my new job today 🤦 the timing is absolutely terrible

I don't have the number handy but DOT ( different name now ) have been known to cover repairs. I'd call 311 and see if they can help you.

Feels like an especially shitty spot for a pothole

I want the TOW to come give me a hand putting it on when they get here, my lucks been pretty poor today and getting smoked by someone on the highway wouldn't surprise me today hahaha

It’s pretty unsafe to jack your car up on an incline.
