Pothole on the BQE BE careful there !

Yesterday evening i was driving thru the BQE in New York, im not familir with this Highway.
I was driving then suddenly i hear this freaking noise, i didn't even have time to
be pissed of whereas another pothole was on my way!!!!!
Look at the video! at the begging i added a map, with the exact location
These bad boys are located by the exit 21 on the BQE!




Look at my wheel ';(
luckly i managed to drive home safely, i was driving thru the street slowely.The wheel holds 19psi. Today i will bring it to the shop.

BE CAREFUL EVERYBODY

I always take the left (HOV) lane on that stretch even if I'm alone in the car. No place for a cop there anyway.

BTW you can also clearly see why the headlights break all the freaking time around here, look how much the beam moves. Make sure it didn't break.

Sad to say, but this is what happens when you don't watch the road like a hawk when driving on the BQE.

Thanks for the heads up and sorry to see that this happened to you!

An idea for a future option on cars: a pot-hole detector!

I take the bqe to/from work everyday. Always stay in the left lane and get close as possible but safely towards the right white line....
