How do you say "vigilante pavers" in French?

Holy fuck, Montréal really wants people to keep breaking their cars, huh? I bet the city got a deal under the table with repair shops.

Or perhaps there's a powerful pothole-filler union that negotiated a three-day work week, and doesn't want the competition.

It would have been hilarious if Daredevil Born Again had an episode plot line which had the AVTF rounding up vigilante pavers.   There actually is an episode during which Mayor Kingpin loses his shit over the bureaucracy behind filling in a sinkhole on a street.

You're right... unions are fucking parasitic around here.

Pay them to do the work...

Well, clearly they don't do the work.

Sort of Richard Ankrom-esque, except he's up front about it. That said, if a fine were ever issued, I suspect the blowback would be magnifique.

Because the City doesn't hire enough people to do the work...

I can't believe no one is actually answering the OP - pavés justiciers.

Since no one has seriously addressed the issue - I'm willing to bet the concern is that these vigilantes may not all be using the correct standards for pothole patching. You don't just pour in asphalt - you clean the sides and bottom, you provide the proper asphalt mix at the proper temperature, you compact - requiring machinery that a lot of these people probably don't have. Sure, on first thought, it's great to have more potholes filled, but what you end up with is pothole filler that comes out and shreds tires, shatters windshields, etc. Not fun to have holes around the city, but better to know that the filled ones are safe.

Stop making sense or talking reasonably. It's just not done.

The article made it clear that the "vigilante paver" sometimes did this after completing another private paving job, and had some asphalt left over. And he boasted about the quality of his equipment.

That exact same thing was done by the guy who paved our driveway a month or so ago: he patched a few potholes in the (private) street in our neighborhood.

Even in that case, private paving jobs often use looser standards than what a city would require, so it's still a liability risk for the city.

Since your road is also private, the case for the guy who paved your driveway is not an issue

It was just intended as a cute title. I don't actually care how it's said in French, as it doesn't come up in conversation very often.

Yeah, but leave it this hobby to turn it into some sort of pedantry thing.
