    This is dumb as shit because canadian winters are much more harsh than UK. Asphalt degrades faster in harsher winters. Doubt they’re hitting -50C in the middle of January

      Don’t underestimate just how badly we Brits maintain the roads.

      The whole country is a patchwork mess.

      In a lot of places we don’t even use real asphalt, don’t need to wait til winter because the damn rain washes out all the patches and then goes back to making things worse.
