What do the government do with the money? Obviously they dont fix the fucking roads. Hit a pot hole other night, burst my tyre, slightly damaged my wheel and knocked my steering out.



Cant really tell looking at it, but its about 1 n a half foot, by half a foot, then about 4-5 inches deep

Flat tyre


now had to put spare wheels on, looks gay now

before


Now


So pissed off, going to get more pics, and measure it etc, try make a claim from council.

The roads in britain are a fucking joke.

Send those pics to the council with an angry letter.
My dad burst the tyre and buckled the rear wheel on his 911 and got some £££ off them.

Just a cheaper form of speedbumps im afraid........
Its funny how they spend weeks fixing one side of the road and then by the time they have finished, the other side is fucked from the amount of traffic using it! My gf said ill get pulled over for suspected drink driving the way i drive just to avoid manhole covers and potholes. When on coming cars stop you from missing them is a frustrating time.

my mate sootylad on here claimed for a potholed wheel and got £500 pounds for a full set because nowhere sold the wheels anymore and council paid up for a full set
pics will be needed and they said aparently if more than one complaint is recieved on the same site they just pay out anyway

tracking can be knocked out very easily on the roads the day was speaking to a mechanic and he said for them to do tracking on a car is ace as its 100% profit

roads in Britain are perfect compared to elsewhere in Europe, but the money we pay they should be in better condition
