a mahOOssive and deep one, hard to spot, especially when following cagers
be carefule there:
I nearly went into that one on Friday evening! If I did, Iâd probably still be fallingâŚ
Iâm going to give the council a ring on Monday to get it sorted.
This pothole is back.
Thereâs another one, too, down Lordship Lane a bit. Itâs a doozy - think of that âTHIS IS SPARTAAAA!â scene in 300, and youâre on the right lines.
I went into it yesterday, when it emerged from under a truck in the dark in the tipping rain - all I had time do do was think âOh, ****. Must. Keep. Front. Wheel. Straight!â. It was so deep, the front wheel actually went down , then slammed off the edge and bounced the back wheel over the hole.
By rights, I shouldâve come off - heaven knows how I stayed upright. The shock was so severe it actually jolted both my mirrors out of whack - though the steering seems fine. Just so you know.
The markers are only approximate, so take care.
You can phone the council or TFL (this is a TFL road) anytime day or night 365 days a year. If itâs that dangerous you can also call the police, who should be concerned about dangerous road surfaces and can even shut the road - although in reality theyâll just log the call and tell TFL/local authority (I once shut the Old Kent Road flyover because of a big crack in the surface and because the council hadnât sent someone despite reporting it 4 hours earlier⌠they soon sent someone out after it was shutâŚ)
I used the form on TfLâs website just after I posted last night, so hopefully something will be done pretty sharpish.
Didnât know about the police thing - if itâs still there tonight, I might do that. It was ridiculous. Genuinely dangerous.
Thanks!
They mustâve gone mental about the flyover⌠good man! :w00t:
These are now fixed, by the way.
But be careful - they might end up reappearing.
