Warning as pothole-related breakdowns rise - are your streets crumbling?
17.01.2023 - 00:45 / dailyrecord.co.uk
New RAC figures have shown a 23 percent jump in breakdowns where potholes were likely to blame in the last three months of 2022.
RAC roadside staff went out to an average of 20 breakdowns a day between October and the end of the year - a total of more than 1,800. This was up from 16 a day over the previous three months and was the highest number of pothole-related breakdowns seen in the fourth quarter of the year since 2019.
It comes after National Pothole Day, which was January 15 and aimed to raise awareness about potholes and the damage that they can cause.
Research for the RAC’s latest Report on Motoring found that an enormous 86 percent of drivers have had to deliberately steer to avoid potholes over the past year.
That figure rises to 90 percent of those in rural areas but only falls to 81 percent of those in urban locations.
Have you suffered any pothole damage? Tell us in the comments below.
RAC head of roads policy Nicholas Lyes said: "As many drivers will no doubt testify, there are too many occasions where potholes have been poorly patched up by cash-strapped councils which then return all too quickly.
It’s frankly absurd that, as a country, we seem unable to get on top of such an age-old problem when roads play such an important role in people’s everyday lives - and are vital to moving goods and businesses delivering services."
Pothole damage can lead to broken suspension springs and distorted wheels among other issues such as punctures.
As part of National Pothole Day, Which? expert Grace Forell shared what you should do if a pothole damages your vehicle.
She explained: "Take photos of the damage and the potholes immediately. Report the pothole to the relevant agency, which is usually the local council."
