'Pothole' you mean, 'POTHOLES'

by crgx

So damages again! First time it happened I had around £300 to pay with damages to the components around my front wheels, such as ball joints, track rod ends, CV boots etc! this was replaced on both sides to the excessive potholes on the roads, but I repaired the damages no questions asked as I thought 'these things happened' until the dreaded knocking of damaged components occurred for THE SECOND TIME after hitting potholes that I could just not avoid on both sides at the front again! but this time the potholes were that big that it put a sheer crack in my windscreen!!! NOT HAPPY! Just today I heard for the first time that some sort of claim could be made - WISH I KNEW THE FIRST TIME. Thought I'd look into it as I've quite frankly had enough and why should I keep my car maintained out my own pocket if they cant maintain the roads to match! Time to put the foot down.
