I remember back in the late 1990's when it was very rare to come across a pothole. The roads were smooth everywhere. Potholes were a developing country problem abroad. Now our roads are worse than a lot of developing countries. Even Greece now has far better roads than here in the UK.
The conservative government has been cutting central funding to councils over the past 10 years who are responsible for most of these roads. There's your answer.
I have never known it so bad. I am on the motorcycle which makes it worse, hitting one could result in injury or worse.I am now very cautious, it also makes me a bit nervous. There is enough to think about when riding a motorcycle never mind worrying about these bloody pot holes.
Here in Copenhagen denmark the roads are just as bad and all they say is we don't have the money to repair them but they have the money to build more and more cykle paths and make the older ones with nice new tarmac and sod the car and truck drivers but they take our money and the bikes give nothing.
The motorist in the UK is the governments top cash cow & in return, the government doesn't give a flying fuck for the motorist!! Apart from, WHAT HAPPENED TO DUTY OF CARE??? Many potholes being extremely dangerous, especially to two-wheel vehicles!!!
One of the things I notice as a passenger in a car (I Don't drive) is that people are now so focused on the approaching potholes, they're oblivious to possible dangers on the road itself, like other vehicles or cyclists. I've never seen so many large potholes in my town or cars that have had their tyres, rims and even suspensions damaged due to crater sized holes.
I live in northern Ireland and the roads here are the worst in Europe!! They ruin my vehicle, brake springs, suspension and shock absorber ever year . Why is our road tax spend on , to buy weapons in Ukraine ????
Isn’t it infuriating to drive around on these potato fields and we have to pay for the maintenance on our vehicles to keep them safe to drive on roads which aren’t safe. Madness
These are like czech roads after a very bad winter in the 2000s the UK roads are so far the worst I have seen compared to Spain,France,Germany,Belgium,Austria,Czech rep,Slovakia
Holy c***, this looks like some kind of war zone 🙈 Now that I've seen this, I am very happy that Slovenia does not have such roads. How can someone who likes his car even live there? 🤔
Ukraine isn't getting money. They're getting "billions" worth of ammunition, weapons and military vehicles from the 1950s-1970s that the British military can no longer use. It's either "billions" gets sent to Ukraine or "billions" gets sent to a landfill.
i want to know who gets the money we pay in road tax ???? where do these millions of pounds go each year ??? some thing doesn't add up ?? are we being conned by the government ??

Maybe you should make sure the roads are properly built, instead of relying on tea swilling, football and coronation St. Babblers doing a mediocre job.
Never known the roads this bad, and I've been driving 30 years.
Well you have just confirmed what I have been thinking also.

Thats every road in UK

0:30 on the right is enough to not want to pay any more tax for the rest of my life.
I love the entire lane wide strip pothole, that damages all 4 of your wheels instead of 2.
😮 that looks bad !
Evan McLelland standard road in Ukraine 🇺🇦

You have never been to Michigan if you think this is bad
Like here, Who is watching this video for there "Computer vision" project 😂
No generally on the whole roads are excellent but a daily wear & tear will definitely happen.
Where is this ?
Uganda
👁👄👁🍿
is this USSR?
😂😂USSR had better roads for tanks than this shit.
U.K.
Pay road tax to have potholes,damaged roads and cars
We are definitely a 2nd world country now, verging on 3rd world. Roads wrecked, bin collections almost non existent and practically no health service.
The Tories have run the UK in to the ground. I notice Westminster roads are perfect.

Relax. That would be a perfectly normal road in Italy. And we pay more taxes than you do.
That why the roads in Italy are so crap. Too many people relaxing instead of doing something about it!🤔
