Plenty 'o Potholes

In the Caribbean island of Barbados, you may find a pothole in the street. Many roads in Barbados are in poor condition, so they are common. They are very dangerous though, as a motorist could hit one of these potholes and be sent flying. They're also hard to notice at night and can cause damage to the vehicle. When you meet one of these, make sure to drive over it slowly with your hands firm on the steering wheel. If you drive fast, there is a good chance you might get a flat tire. If it was too large to drive slowly over, find a way to drive under it, not hitting the tires. If you are on a two lane road, try not to swerve to an occupied lane. You may end up colliding with another vehicle, or the other cars can get aggressive, or report you as a reckless/drunk driver.
