Britain's pothole crisis has been laid bare by a survey revealing nearly half of us swerve to avoid them on a daily basis. Two-thirds of drivers polled said their roads had got worse over the last year – and only one in 14 believed there had been an improvement. Those in Scotland and Wales were particularly frustrated, with 80 per cent and 76 per cent respectively saying they encounter more potholes than a year ago. And 45 per cent of all survey participants said they had to swerve to avoid potholes every day. Half of the drivers polled blamed the pothole plague on a lack of funding from the Government.
