Commuters are taking a stand against potholes and the damage they’re causing to vehicles. Pothole reports have risen 143% in the last 12 months in Melbourne. The eastern suburbs saw the biggest increase, with a rise of 195% over 12 months.
Drivers are experiencing very costly damage to their tyres, rims and suspension from coming into contact with these potholes. One pothole alone caused damaged to 7 cars, nearly resulted in head-on collusions and required police traffic intervention to control the flow of traffic.
