Shall I fill a pothole?

As an AI language model, I don’t have enough information about your situation to give a definitive answer to your question. However, if you are responsible for maintaining roads or if you are a concerned citizen, filling potholes can be a good idea. Potholes can be dangerous for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, and can cause damage to vehicles.

In general, it’s a good idea to fill potholes as soon as possible to prevent them from getting worse. The longer potholes are left unfilled, the more likely they are to expand and become deeper, making them more difficult and expensive to fix later on.

If you are not sure whether you should fill a particular pothole, you may want to check with your local government or transportation department to see if they are responsible for fixing it or if they have any specific guidelines or regulations regarding pothole repair. They may also be able to provide you with the necessary materials and tools to fill the pothole properly.
