It is commonly said that if you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere else in the world. Because, besides the questionable driving skills of many commuters, several roads are filled with potholes and are damaged.
However, as it turns out, this is not just a problem in India. One Twitter user shared a picture of a damaged road in the UK which authorities tried to fix using tar and gravel. As a result, the road had multiple different shapes and sizes of the mentioned components.
Only in Britain would a road look like this. pic.twitter.com/hIfTdaXlCq

But many people online were impressed. Some said, “At least they tried,” while sharing pictures from their respective countries, including India, Pakistan, South Africa, Thailand, etc. showing roads covered in dangerous potholes, reports The Indian Express. Some of them were humongous! Have a look:
At least they try to patch it up. Meanwhile here in India.. pic.twitter.com/KLWoBJOtfO
