[Richie London]

going round the greenford roundabout, wheel hit the edge of a deep pothole and took the tyre out the rim, nearly hit the car next to me and ended up half way backwards to avoid him, another car just stopped from going into my side. nearly had a heart attack. got witnesses name and address so need to know who to write to complain to. went down to tyre shop my mate knows and got a dunlop for £30 quid. this is the 2nd tyre in 2 weeks thats come away from the rim.

glad to hear you werent injured. i would imagine it would be the higways agency you would complain to but am probably wrong.

[Richie London]

just going along in one rd this morning there was more holes than tarmac. i had to zig zag the whole rd to avoid them. its getting beyond a joke round here now.

Glad you came out of that one OK --- sounds like it was a "ruined trousers moment"  

[OmegaGav]

Write to you're local council, they spend more on compensation claims than they do on repairing the pot holes these days !

[OmegaGav]

p.s dont tell them that you only spent 30 quid on ya new tyre ,lucky git

One parish council in Essex has decided that it doesnt want its potholes repaired,they say they are an excellent traffic calming measure
These rather retards shouldnt be allowed to be in charge of a whelk stall never mind their local roads.
Leaving aside for a moment the damage they do to cars and the potential for causing accidents due to incidents similar to richies,they obviously have no idea about the huge risks these cause to motorcyclists/pedal cyclists and maybe even horse riders.

Thank god you are ok Richie, that is the main thing!

But also it is good that the only obvious damage to the car was on the wheel!   Have you checked the suspension though as that sounds like a right old biff to the wheel?

I'd also recommend taking a picture of the pot hole to support your claim action a.s.a.p.   After a woman went under a lorry in Tenterden down here due to pot holes and was killed Ashford Council quickly covered them up within the hour!!

Fitting shite second hand tyres are you?

[Cumbria]

Wher does the money from road tax go to. It Doesnt go on repairing roads.

[Gaffers]

Glad you're ok.  Local council is who you need to speak to  

[Richie London]

Fitting shite second hand tyres are you?

no, it was a cash deal  

[cem_devecioglu]

Good to hear you are ok.. But it seems you need to slow down a bit
