Bloody Pot Holes

[mid life crisis]

im fed up with rd works atm about 6 months ago hit a pot hole full of water in my old falcon result 2 bent steel rims and 1 fkd tyre.

last night in the mrs vz hit another pot hole result 1 written off cv8 monaro mag and one that can be repaired less than one month old .

both time ring council get told the contractors responsibility go see the contractor get told the council is responsible go to the council and they print off a act of parliament absolving them of any blame .

ring lawyer and his says the act protects them you could fight it but it will cost you more than the rims worth fair dinkum im going too be late paying my rates from now on lol leave my dough in the bank for as long as i can for maximum interest .

if ya live on the north side beware of bloody big pot hole on peachy rd near the construction site near the end and stick close too the medium strip as the hole is nr the kerb . whats the bet they have a crew around there today filling the bloody thing .

its funny how they say its not my fault see the contractor.....go to the contractor and he says its not his fault see the council.....they just make your run around in circles to avoid paying you compensation for the damage caused.....if there are massive pot holes then either that lane should be closed till its fixed or the contractors have to fill it with something so that its not so bad on the cars

yeah they have there arse's covered tighter than a fishers arse lol if someone hit this on a motor bike it would throw them off the bike the council will end up up with blood on it;s hands one day

[SLED]

Deano, if that did happen with a bike and as a result someone was injured, they can throw their policies in the bin cause they'll all be running for cover!!

I had a situation in the Elizabeth City Centre carpark where I parked against one of those concrete front tyre stops. They have 2 lengths of rio rod that they nail the things in place with but one of the rods had dislodged and was sticking up a few inches, just enough for my work car's front plastic bumper to hook on. When I reversed, it ripped the front bar off.

This what I sent them with a massive bill and the buggers paid it, lol

[mid life crisis]

who payed for that tho sled ? playford council or the shopping center management im not getting too much joy from the council lol

cant seem too open it bloody windows 7 im having a crap day so far lol

Council never pay....you should know that by now, lol.

It was the Centre that paid but like I said, if someone gets injured, get a lawyer and go the council.........they WILL lose!

Try hitting "SAVE" rather than "OPEN" Deano

I had an accident because I hit a really big pot hole on the round-a-bout on whites/burton rd years ago in my vs clubby, I bent the Z bar and the K frame, went and got quotes and sent a letter simalar to Petes, The Council would not pay and I had to pay for the damage and still to this day the pot hole isnt fixed . I couldnt afford to get a lawyer and was going through seperation.

i have just moved down from bissy and never in my life have i seen so many ENWS man holes. i drive down marion road to go to work and its shocking. but i think S.A wastes money on things this state doesnt need for instant the revamping of the football oval or cricket ground which ever one it is. how bout a new high way that goes both ways its the only place in the world that has a one way express way.

well thats my say.

[Boof]

Why would you move from Brisbane to here! yeegads!!

Dean i saw that pothole on the way home tonight and all i can is YIKES!!

Even the numerous CST road crossings they've done on Curtis Rd are shite! A heavy traffic road+shite rubble+lack of compaction, nearly hit one in the GTR that would have been close on 200mm below the road surface. Boof and Dion would know the ones im talking of.

I just like the overpass and roundabout bits they put in there ... especially when I go see Ben and Nene on the motorbike

another 60 seconds or so and you would be at my house lol

If the dopes are giving you the runaround, I'd place a small advert asking if anyone has succeeded in suing the council or other, over 'Pothole Damage' > pursue the same course. I wonder if you get more than 1x reply!

[SLED]

unless someone was injured, I'd save my cash cause you'd get nowhere fast

[mid life crisis]

lol looks like the pipe bombs have already been thrown by the size of the pot holes

[Spark911]

i drive down peachey road everyday to go to work - they filled the pothole you mentioned just last week? i think...not that hard to just avoid them - but then again, i do know the road lol. Mate that really sucks about ur wheels, its sh*t when people don't want to do anything for you.

Im from adel originally but lived in NSW for a couple of years, and started owning an import over there...I move back to SA this year and -holy sh*t, i feel like taking my coilovers off and wacking sum standard sus back in!

pretty much feel like my teeth are gonna fall out when going over the railway crossing on Womma Rd lol

You should try the railway tracks on Torrens Rd going past Bombay. Need a 4WD to get over them

Ohh god they are shocking railway tracks. Gives me the shits going over them. I've tried to slow down to go over them, still not much difference to going 50-60 kms over them.
