Going “pot holing” is a pastime that is enjoyed by thousands of people who enjoy going underground in passages and caves. However, if we are a driver of a motor vehicle in the UK in 2008 many more of us are also pot holing, but few of us are enjoying this.
Media reports are telling us of the increasing number of pot holes that are appearing on our roads today indeed motorists in the UK are more than twice as likely to suffer damage to their cars as their American counterparts because of poorly maintained roads.
Hitting a pot hole, even at a slow speed can cause suspension damage and accelerated wear to the front tyres, it is estimated that suspension damage costs motorists an average of £285.39 which is something that we can all do without.
If you’re car has been damaged by a deep rut or a cavernous tear in the tarmac, you could seek compensation from the authority responsible for the maintenance of the road rather than digging deep into their own pockets.
