Potholes cost British motorists £1 million a day in repair bills, it has just been claimed, an increase of a third in the past year. potholes.co.uk also said that £8.5 billion was needed to bring Britain's roads “up to scratch”.
The Local Government Association (LGA) said that councils filled a record one million potholes last year and spent an extra £10.9 million on pothole repairs, however, it has been suggested that even if English councils were given the money needed to repair their roads, it would take them 11 years to clear their current backlog.
The Asphalt Industry Alliance estimates that British drivers encounter a pothole every 120 yards.
It can't be much fun driving in the UK.
