The AA said it received 48,994 callouts last month to vehicles stranded due to faults likely caused by potholes. Common problems caused by potholes include damaged shock absorbers, broken suspension springs and distorted wheels.Jack Cousens, head of roads policy at the AA, said: “During what felt like a continuous spell of rain throughout August, drivers faced the now familiar challenge of trying to spot potholes lurking beneath the surface of rainwater.
“Councils now have a very small window of time to get as much of their repair work carried out as possible before the real autumn and winter weather hits, meaning their road teams will need to work flat out to restore the roads before the weather really turns against them.”
