On the M6 Heading to Brum the turn off for the Ricoh has a few massive ones which I hit (luckily I was in the missus Seat at the time ) but no it's not good.Potholes are doing my head in at the minute - the M62 motorway is full of them at the minute - had to have 2 rims welded in the past few months.
I have resorted to driving in the middle lane now - I look like a middle lane hog, but ill be damned if I get another cracked alloy.
Ive reported a few in the town I live in and they tend to get filled in after a month or so. The only downside is the filling does not last that long and after a few months and traffic flow the pothole is back again.
There's lots of pothloes up here with white spray round about them marking the hole, so it's obvious they know about them, but takes ages before they get sorted.
March is when most surfacing and pothole work is undertaken because the council tend to find they still have cash leftover from their annual budget. If they don't spend it, they lose it the following year. Then in April they receive their new budget for which they then spend another 9 months agreeing how they are going to spend it all!
Saddly this will only get worse. Both my missus and I work in local authority and the sad truth is the budgets handed out by government is shrinking under their "cutting public spending" banner. Cost of doing jobs is spiraling as energy costs and more red tape is added. The network is falling apart quicker than we have the budget to sort it.
