i've had my front tyres punctured 3 times in a couple of months thanks to those potholes.

I blame potholes for my wheel coming off! (don't ask how or why, I just do)

There's a road at the bottom of my street that's a bus route and it has the worst pot holes ever. Its so bad that I feel like getting a camera and showing everyone-but that would just be sad. Basically its so bad that if I drove down there I would disappear. They take up the whole width of the road.

Well I was driving home with my mum and sis in the car, I hit this massive pot hole. I walked home 5 miles as my car wouldn't start, only to realise later on that evening when I was nearly home (on facebook on phone) someone told me to press the fuel cut off switch. So anyway, waited for dad to come home, he drove me back uptop the car and pressed this switch. Started first time!

As if I didn't know about it and walked 5 miles home. I was nackard too lol.... Someone showed me this site ages back. I had to take my Mini to the garage to get it tracket ect, also needs ballancing now. I need two new tyres now, and they have worn funny since I hit the pot hole.

dont people do that dangerious swerving to avoid pot holes?

i never used to feel pretty much any pothole in the volvo but i do in the peugeot lol, damn lowered suspension

[DaveVader]

I swerve like a drunk, I obviously do it safely but I am all over my side of the road!

[jacksmags]

You don't realise how much dodging you need to do, do you! and you just want to cry when you hit one!

[adam_93rio]

im thinking of contacting them about my bottom arm being twisted, there are some nasty potholes on the street my girfriends work is on

would i be able to claim for a new tyre aswell, as the edge going bald was the first sign of damage

[MiniJosh92]

Our local council wants us to pay for pothole repairs by sponsoring them in memory of your deceased pets!!

Whats the point in speedbumps when you got potholes to worry about?
Since the coldsnap has passed, they have gotten really bad round my area.

Now we all know why so many people rather have a 4x4.

nice one thats handy. loads of pot holes round my way, get funny looks from people when they see you swirving around the road. If anyone asks i'm warming up my tyres Its not just the pot holes though, most of the roads are rubbish round my way, where they have been patched up, ceratinly feel it in the mini, and poor colin must hate it. I slow right down but then i get car behind you right up my arse.
