The Unstoppable Pothole Protester
A man fed up with Britain’s pothole problem has found a very unusual way to make his point—by treating them like gold mines.

Industry experts say the latest data should act as a wake‑up call for organisations that run vehicles for work, as accident levels are no longer falling at the rate seen in previous years. Figures covering England’s major road network show little change in the number of people killed or seriously injured, while earl

MPs have launched a major inquiry into the Government’s new Road Safety Strategy, marking the first comprehensive review of national road‑safety policy in more than a decade.
