Ours are terrible , but we have seen the pothole hit squad quite a bit.
Our roads are old concrete road laid for the war and tarmacked over. Consequently every time we have heavy rain or ice the potholes are back, getting bigger each time.
The roads round here are outrageous. One massive pothole was filled, and 2 days later it started to crumble. What is the point of doing a half-arsed job? Pay cheap, pay twice.
I believe that the highway-code has been updated in light of the state of our roads.
Rather than stating that you should drive on the left of the road, the latest edition states that you should drive on what is left of the road.
