its hard to keep clean going through that, but surely that is too dangerous to be used by the public? or is it a back alley?

crawl through at 0.5 mph, then drive through a small puddle to wipe your feet

Looks like my road, as soon as i leave the driveway the car is stinking....my solution was to garage the RB5 for most of the winter and buy a run around (£450 Toyota Carina E)....that way you can rip and thrash round that road all you want and not worry as you wont have to wash the runaround all the time lol.

My old carina gets washed every two or three months depending on my mood lol

Super solution to bu a cheap car for the winter, i still drive the RB5 but at least if the roads like that i just leave it tucked away....and NO, im not an OCD car cleaner by the way, i just like to keep my good car looking erm.. good

No harm in that!!

Surely H&S mafia will crucify him if he leaves it like that !

Crash a "shed" and put in a claim ?

Complain about the state of the road
A week later after complaint slip on the road
take the council to court
build a bridge with the money you get

Seriously though, I have a bit of farmer trouble down here in Surrey, Its an absolute pain. Nothing you can do about it, just keep the speed down as you can see what the surface of the road is really like.
