ive had that before

just left a nice bit of curb damage i got off lucky i think . I was one one of those uneven roads , and me only being a learner lost control as it was like on a slope, so i end up doing 30 scraping the curb lol , it sorta went whack then ma car went out into the road itself

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.

sorry to hear that, but at least it teaches you to watch were your going.

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...
