With potholes posing safety and financial concerns, 27% of drivers are unaware they can claim damages from their local council or road authority.
Mr Sozos is just looking to claim back the £146 for the new tyre. He told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS): I had to arrange for another car to pick up my client, pay out for a new tyre, pay for a new track rod arm to be fitted, and have an unpaid day off work to get this fixed. This incident caused significant disruption to my livelihood.
