Pot hole + 55 mph = damaged alloy (lump missing + tear in side wall)
Damaged wheel + 6:00am + snow + mud + handle for jack missing = angry Rob
Spare wheel + arrive at work = slightly calmed down Rob
Glance at other rear tyre + confused look + slight hissing/spitting sound = slow puncture in other rear tyre
Winter tyre + fitting = £180 x 2
Tyres on car only 2 months old = angry Rob once more

Fecking roads department bast**ds!
I hit a pothole last October and tried to claim off the council. I got fobbed off by the councils insurance company with some really lame excuses so good luck if you try to claim Rob.
I now have to have lightening reactions to swerve to miss the bloody things because I do not want a repeat expense.

Rob, if you are thinking about making a claim I would have a look at www.potholes.co.uk as there is a detailed bit on there with what information you need and how to go about it.

Cheers...I will make a claim as the tyre is pretty much brand new.

Maybe drive a little slower and you'll be able to avoid any potholes?
Agree that they should not be there but, I manage to miss them most of the time.

If you were within punching distance you would be punched..lol.
Twas a left hand bend, I had to hug the side of the road thanks to a bus very close to the double white lines. Unfortunately the pot hole was under a large puddle so what with the headlights of the bus and the water, I did not see it.

The day will be coming soon enough when they start closing roads, strategically chosen to increase my drive home by 5 miles and one additional half hour, so that they can perform the neccessary repairs which should have been tackled 18 months ago!! More baggeration for the working man. :mad
I've had to replace 3 windscreens in the last 6 months (prior to that I have NEVER replaced a windscreen on a car) due to the stones from these potholes being catapulted at my face. Perhaps if I payed even more taxes and stopped whinging then the fat inept monkeys could get on with the task in hand.....ROAR!
F*.......2,3 and relax!

Comment may not necessarily have been aimed squarely at you :z4

Some are definitely unavoidable (unless you know where they are, and anyway this would often mean coming to a dead stop...not great on an A or B road). My droplinks and a newish tyres went last summer and I am positive it was as a result of hitting all these f-ing holes :mad
Iain, I had a prang a few years ago and got a long term courtesy from Enterprise ( a nice 1.6 Ford Focus). On holiday I cracked the windscreen, took it back, got another one and subsequently went on to crack the windscreen in the replacement 2 days later ! I was most embarrased :oops

Could it just be that Fords have crap glass?

see previous post Mr Bendy!

Iain do you find that after braking hard your face hurts, is swollen and next day you have to buy a new windscreen again? :z4
-
Never hear from you for ages then a tirade of abuse!
That's the way it is, is it Mr Ireland?

The abuse hasn't even started sweet cheeks.
