What is it with that? In response to your question though, if: Road tax, Fuel duty, Fuel Vat, insurance premium tax and car/road related fines were all spent on the roads (which is where it should all go in my opinion) then the UK would have the best roads in the world. Its true. Enough said for now, its a bit late... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasmeet Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 what i hate even more is when they patch up the hole, and dont do a good job and the repair barely lasts a couple of months. another rant, hounslow council repaired a road by removing the old surface and putting a new layer, which is all good and what we expect. but they were such idiots that they did half the road an just left the other half, which was worse than the bit that they repaired. it makes no sense at all. one minute your on the newly laid road surface, smooth and as you'd expect a road to be, then all of a sudden its like your on an off road circuit, having to slow down to about 15-20mph so that you can try and avoid the holes and bumps. utter load of nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the roads are put out to contractors and they basically don't give a monkeys about how good the job is, and the majority of people don't complain to the council about it. We had gas and water main renewals in my area about a year back the road wasn't brilliant before the work was started but when it was finished the road was worse. If a pot hole damages your vehicle in anyway, take a photo of the hole and sue the council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
