Potholes - Page 2

I was tempted to take a pick of the massive square pot hole round the corner from me (Outside where Jesters used to be for locals) You should see the size of it, Well you will as I will take a pic on next pass. It's some Bodged repair of the road after the water board fixed a pipe, The whole repair looks like it's sunk an inch or so leavign a lovely sharp piece to cut/shread tyres.

I'm glad I was only doing 20, I reckon if I'd have been going any faster, I may have ended of on my roof.

Glad to hear we're all coming out the other side of potholes unscathed (apart from in the wallets...)

Ouch. Glad you're OK and hope the claim doesn't get too troublesome.

The M4 J10 repair lasted about 36 hours. No wonder the Highways Agency don't agree to come on BBC Radio Berkshire.

The m25 is a joke. Where the roadworks are heading towards the bridge southbound, I have to slalom to avoid them all.

Tip, it's better to go in the outside lane and the inside lane has some unmissable monsters. You will have to have your wits about you to avoid the ones on the outside lane though!

Quite a few nasty ones round here, including a major one round the corner where a whole section of the road seems to have subsided.

What makes my blood boil is the endlessly increasing revenue from motorists and fuel, yet not a penny of it seems to make its way back into the road infrastructure.
