Fixing potholes yourself may seem helpful, but it can be unsafe, ineffective and even illegal. Discovery Insure urges residents to report potholes via the Discovery Pothole Patrol app, so they can be repaired properly. Using trained teams, specialised equipment and strict quality controls helps ensure durable repairs and safer roads for everyone.
