A survey has confirmed what every motorist already suspected - our roads are becoming almost as potholed as the surface of the moon - reports the Daily Telegraph.
British drivers are now paying out an estimated £1 million every day in repairs because of the shocking state of some highways.
Over an eight-year period up to May 2008, six per cent of cars each year suffered axle and suspension damage thanks to bad roads.
With some claims as high as £2,710 and the average repair costing £240, it means drivers are paying out a total of £413 million a year - even if they do manage to claim the costs back on insurance, or from the roads authority concerned.
