Pothole Dodgem

A quiet drive on a country Victorian road. You have three chances to make it 150 km without wrecking the car.

← → on a keyboard or slide a finger left and right on the screen. The car follows your finger.

Watch for cars stranded on the left shoulder and for oncoming traffic on the right. Hit either and the drive is over.

This is a game. The real thing is not.

Nearly half of Victoria's state-managed roads were rated poor or very poor in 2024. That is up from 39 per cent in 2021.
About 82 per cent of those roads are in regional Victoria.
The State Government has promised to fix 500,000 potholes this financial year. Country drivers are counting.

Figures from the Victorian Auditor-General's Office as reported by ABC News on 17 September 2026.
