aw, i went up a curb once i had just past my test and was driving my mams car the curb was like two feet high and there was this old guy walking on the path, came round the the round about and went up the curb, the old guy poo his pants. mams wheel was buckled like (good thing it was only a steelie)

i got loads a potholes on my way to work, so i know where to avoid them, but when you hit one you\'re screwed, they are so deep

claim off your local council. Theyre responsible for the roads being in top condition, and if the roads arent, and you damage your car off them, then they should pay the costs. A lot of people have claimed cash back from this sort of thing.

Like said, take it to the Council...

You will need to get Pictures of the pot-hole which caused it, take a ruler to measure depth & also a copy of todays newspaper and make sure its in the shot, so you can PROVE the date is correct...
