Never did It cause me to be thrown over my steering wheel and through my windscreen. That's because I use a viable means of transport |

That admission puts you in no position to criticise other people. Never did It cause me to be thrown over my steering wheel and through my windscreen. That`s no proof it never happens That's because I use a viable means of transport No, simply because your luck hasn't run out. Until you learn to drive, the clock is still ticking. I hope you're the only victim of your incompetence. |

When it has been raining heavily, which it has recently - you have only to ask the people of Somerset, Wraysbury or Staines, and I'm sure they'll back me up - potholes very quickly fill with water to the level of the road, leaving them invisible. Unless you have got godlike qualities or some sort of sonar equipment fitted, they can be impossible to spot. Are you claiming to have godlike qualities? |

That`s no proof it never happens Perhaps you could provide an example where it has? Only a tiny proportion of motoring related incidents reach the press. Councils end up paying a considerable amount of money back to whingeing and/or incompetent drivers over pothole claims. I have no doubt much of it is for more than a replacement bling wheel.

Obviously, as you seem to be incapable of thinking, I'll have to do it for you. The thinking problem is yours. When it has been raining heavily, which it has recently - you have only to ask the people of Somerset, Wraysbury or Staines, and I'm sure they'll back me up - potholes very quickly fill with water to the level of the road, leaving them invisible. Unless you have got godlike qualities or some sort of sonar equipment fitted, they can be impossible to spot. Indeed, potholes can be impossible to spot when fully covered with water. So you're now telling us that you hit potholes because you blunder along at over 30mph through deep water? Are you claiming to have godlike qualities? If god provided me with eyes, then yes. Did yours come in a container from China through a pound shop? It seems they must have done. |
