          There's a pothole not far from us, that has to be about 18 inches wide and shear sided to a depth of three inches... it's so bad, there's 20 yards of stones and debris, mixed with miscellaneous trim parts... It'd probably inflict similar, considerable damage. Get a photo of it with a depth/ruler and claim....

                It's not called road fund tax anymore because the monies collected are no longer spent on building the road network, they call the tax "vehicle excise duty" The roads are a disgrace though thats for sure

                  I don't care if it's called rft or ved that's not the point I was making I'm p-ssed off with the condition of the so called roads or have they changed the name of those to tracks?..no offense

                    Non taken I agree with you, I was just highlighting how they get away with not spending road fund money on funding the roads They also get the VAT from the replacement parts we have to buy after hitting pot holes
