getting me so pissed off with driving my car, cant enjoy a nice drive, im constantly concentrating on the potholes in the road, either hit them which is a bad bang through the car or im swerving around them and if needs be over the middle lines to get round them...
lately they have seemed to have got worse, got to the stage i dont want to drive my car if i dont have to..

I know your pain mate. There are roads road here I dont go down anymore because they're that bad  people behind me must think im pissed, I have no problem swerving onto the other side of the road to avoid them 
Edit: The £170 claim for when my car got damaged by a pothole has still not been awarded to me yet after 4 months. Don't you just love councils

I thought thats why we paid 'Road Tax', or is that so polish people can drive up the motorway the wrong way ?

The roads round here are all so well kept, they seem to take pride more up here than down in england.

That road is a complete joke! everytime they 'repair' it the same thing just happens over and over because the do such a shit job of it. The glascote road is another one that isnt too brilliant lol.

Vigilante roadworks tbh.
There was one in my village (several next to each other but there was this particularly bad one) that was almost a perfect circle, about 1 foot across. Took them months to fix it.

lots of potholes got filled recently..
new road surface on M62 near me, massive road works on M18 i think...
If no one reports potholes they are not likely to get filled..

you can report them to your council and they have to sort them within a week (i think)
i can report them online for my local area, although not idea (they should be on the case anyhow) it does sort the problem.
weaving all over the road because of stretched tyres / nice wheels due to potholes is not cool lol

I have reported my road mid last year, not heard anything back. If it wasn't as bad as it is, I'd go fill the holes myself, but it's not just pot holes it's all uneven, awful to drive down even when I'm in my mums standard Fusion you get bumped all over the place never mind my car!
