Drivers across the UK are battling potholes that have remained unrepaired for years, with councils failing to act on thousands of complaints.
A new analysis by Tempcover has revealed that almost 80 councils have potholes first reported as far back as 2007 still marked as unresolved.
Among the worst places for the oldest-reported potholes are Glasgow, Leeds, Edinburgh, Manchester, Cardiff, Liverpool, and Birmingham.
The analysis, based on data from FixMyStreet.com, indicates that 69 councils each have over 1,000 potholes left unrepaired.
The oldest reported pothole was reported on Monday, March 9, 2020.
As the pothole crisis continues to plague roads in the UK, there are some steps you can take to reduce the risk of damage to your vehicle.
Drivers should remain vigilant and report any potholes to the council.
Drivers should also maintain a safe distance from the car in front and check tyre pressure regularly.
