Righto, one of the many fucking potholes littering our roads met my front left tyre and wheel.
It's taken a small chunk out of my alloy and slashed the tyre wall where it meets the alloy. As I understand it, damage to the tyre wall means you risk 3 points if you are driving with it. A quick google shows that repairs are possible, but most won't repair damage to the tyrewall...
So am I okay to drive with them; or am I right that it's a 3 point penalty. Does anyone know if it's repairable - it's a small gash, less than an inch, running diagonally away from the alloy rim towards the tread and very shallow ( I can lift a small flap of tyre up).
Secondly, I know the road it happened on, anyone had any luck pursuing local councils for compensation for damage caused by road conditions?
