Thanked 7 Times in 7 PostsWord of advice.
Go back to the speed bump and photograph a measurement of the height of the bump to the bottom of that hole. Council insurance will usually pay up, especially with the road looking as bad as that. It's a disgrace..!
Best of luck. SteveRuss

Thanked 2,643 Times in 1,928 PostsThat looks like a nasty piece of road... I'd be unimpressed if it had caused damage to my car, I am surprised nobody has reported it to Clarence? yet..

Thanked 14 Times in 14 PostsRemoved mine last night at 9pm in the dark/fog on the drive. Neighbours probably think I'm a bit potty Originally Posted by Nick0

I took mine off without jacks and replaced with a pair of large stainless washers.
That speed hump is shocking, judging by the erosion either side of it and the scars on top it's done damage to myriad cars. Sue the ****ing Council!
