we need a modern road system fit for the 21st century not the age of the horse and cart
Damn straight. Our roads are sh*t. And we should have the best roads as we have one of the most stable climates. We don't get -30c winters and 40c summers. When my Dutch friends visited once they asked if we pay road tax, as the roads didn't show for it. The roads i drive on every day are literally broken. It's a gamble between do i avoid that pothole and hit the car on the other side, or hit the pot hole and avoid the car. Hitting the pot holes wins always. I hate how much the trans am rattles mostly the whole way. The only good part is on the motorway but even that has potholes, just a bit easier to avoid. On the normal roads, I literally swerve onto the otherside of the road and weave on both sides as it's torn up so badly so try to avoid the holes. Part of my conspiracy side thinks that they are doing that on purpose to get more money out of our pockets... in way of replacement tyres, replacement suspension, and ideally for them, cars worn down from being over rattled to the point that the owners trade up for new cars, giving a nice chunk of VAT to the govt. , plus taking out loans, paying interest on those etc. Conspiracy / rant over
