Sydney Roads Are F*&#ed!

[IL11TE]

i have had no luck with rims this week. First off, im driving on monday night and feel a thud in the steering and increased when i sped up. Took off the LH front tyre and its got a bubble in it 5icnhes long.drove home with the stupid space saver on.

Got a new tyre put on the rim thursday and the guy said it was definatly a fracture from a pothole. and he had his say about the roads of sydney

tonight i was driving at the back of penrith with 3 people in the car and hit another pothole, same tyre went flat . took it off and its rooted, massive impact dent on the inside of the rim, no way it can be salvaged, the same for the rear one on the LH but it didnt deflate. Now ive got to get a new set of rims, what a waste of new rubber!

Why do i pay taxes or rego? now i have to fork out more money and try to sell just 2 rims! out of pocket in a hard way, ANyone else felt this pain?

Can you go over the same route in daytime and locate 'which pothole' > isolate which council is responsible > talk to the neighbours adjacent to the holes (since they'd want the thing fixed themselves) > write letters of demand to the council for compensation!!!

+1 on find the pot hole, take a photo and send it with your claim to the responsible council.

I know my dad got a council to pay for a new whee on his car and that was years ago. So probably even more likley to be able to get the council to take responsibility for their negligence.

My friend his a pot hole in his r32 golf. f**ked one rim. (car has no spare)

took photos of hole, sent all the shit to the local council rim replaced pot hole fixed, tow truck paid for.

In todays society you can bet someone has already made a complaint to the council about the hole/
