I hit a pothole at 40mph last week. It was round a corner so I had no chance to avoid it. Hit it so hard the self leveling mechanism in my headlight has broken. So now, thanks to New Forest District Council (and central government for underfunding them) I now have to find the money for a new headlight.

The giant heavy vehicles on the roads aren’t helping.

I was shocked to find a particularly bad stretch near me to have had all of the potholes filled a while back.

Most of them came back after a month, but still, it was nice to not have to play dodgems on this stretch for a bit.

Also, anybody driven on the M48 eastbound between Newport and Bristol recently? Holy shit is it bad.
