A new study reveals that 27% of UK drivers have suffered vehicle damage due to potholes in the past year, costing drivers an average of £718 per repair. This staggering £7.5 billion annual cost highlights the dire state of UK roads. Halfords is offering a free ‘Pothole Damage Check’ to help drivers determine if their vehicle has been damaged by potholes. The service also provides drivers with a report that can be used to claim compensation from local authorities.
