When i was learning my instructer would make me swerve on part of the road to avoid some pot holes that were not even bad
I think they have been fixed now and i still avoid that area because of him

Since my corsa has never been lowered or my current car lol (which won't be lowered before some asks) - I take it a car lowered is a even bigger nightmare over potholes?
