Potholes are increasingly damaging vehicles across Britain, with a survey revealing that 27% of drivers don’t know they can claim damages from local councils. Potholes have surged 40% year-on-year, resulting in 83% of affected drivers personally funding repairs, while only 6% know to claim through insurance. Many councils reject claims, often citing a lack of awareness about potholes. To strengthen claims, motorists should gather substantial evidence, including photos, witness statements, and mechanic assessments to substantiate their case when reporting these hazards.
