| Poor condition of UK Roads Is it me or have ROADS really deteriorated over the last few years. I was out a few days over the last week and driving around i really noticed how bad roads are.  I was constantly dodging potholes, uneven bumps - to the point where i was concentrating more on the few metres in front of me than the road ahead. The crappy roads send jolts right thru the bike and me!! Being a car driver for most of my life - you get used to a cushioned ride - but these roads are a death trap!! |

| Re: Poor condition of UK Roads Totally agree! I can't ride yet but even in my car I am noticing more and more pot-holes and bumps in the road. I'm constantly swerving all over the place, it looks like I'm trying to warm my tyres up for a race  |

| Re: Poor condition of UK Roads yep and then there's the mid lane manhole covers on roads that've been resurfaced a dozen or more times without the covers being raised to the same height. pot holes on bends are lethal!!!  |

| Re: Poor condition of UK Roads If only every road user paid some kind of 'tax', which could be used to keep all the roads in a good state of repair. They could call it the 'road tax'. Let's face it, which ever way we turn, we are getting f****d left, right and centre by this government. They'd rather pay out millions in compo for accidents, than use the billions we provide in taxes to upkeep the roads. You never see roads this shit in other countries! We're all mugs.  |
