Can you find a bigger pothole than this?

This is the latest pothole to be nominated in MCN’s search for the country’s worst, after it left an MCN reader’s bike badly damaged.

The crater, on Fendrod Way, Llansamlet, Swansea is a foot wide and several inches deep.

Lee Rogers, 33, a DVLA civil servant from Swansea, said: “How I managed to stay on I don’t know. It was so deep the faring and crank case cover on my GSX-R600 scraped the side of the hole.”

Rogers reported the pothole to the council the same day, on January 10, and within two days it was repaired.

New potholes are formed during cold weather by standing water expanding as it freezes, forcing minor cracks in the road to widen until repetitive freezing and thawing tears the surface apart.
