RANT/road resurfacing.

Hmmm .... if that's your attitude I'll go and find my own  ..........

OMG I can see this turning into a form of "train spotting" - how sad would that be

Next we'll be talking about HG inner bags 

I'm going to go and dig a pot hole and that'll be the end of it hopefully.

Right, hows this for a pothole, or does it qualify as a crater?   

[Ziderman]

Unfortunately its what cash strapped councils do to make a quick repair

Bolox..nothing to do with cash strapped councils..they never bothered to sweep it away...so nothing new there. It's a crap idea to start with..What's it called " Surface dressing" about as use full as a chocolate fire guard ! The bit it needs to stick to is eroded after the first 10 cars creating a slippery rail track & what's left in middle is a line of miniature marbles...total false economy....! My RANT !

[Rusty]

That will do for starters Mr Wolf ... nice one !

You want me to stop on the M25 to take a picture of a pothole between lanes 2 & 3?
I have no desire to die just yet so I'll give that a miss.
Down here if you stop, you just get incorporated into the road surface.
I guess it's one way of filling potholes.

Thing is, the repairing of pot holes is contracted out....sooooo lets see, if i make a shit job of repairing this road, I'll be back in 6 months to do it again...and guess what..i get paid again..Keeeerching!!

Not a pothole, but on the M62 there is a section that joins two lanes which has a ditch in it.
Brown pants time when it catches you unaware.

I dunno about your part of the world Mogs, but not all repairs are contracted out, I know this for a fact here in the Lakes, the council still conduct some repairs themselves, and other work is contracted out, its mainly to do with logistics, as the councils are required to conduct a repair within a given timescale.

And Ziderman , sorry but you too are incorrect, because 'collecting' surface water is the primary damage causer, and I think you'll find that most sweeping is conducted in gutters where you shouldn't be riding your bike anyway
