Diesel spills are one of the most dangerous road hazards for motorcyclists - yet many riders are told nothing can be done if the vehicle responsible isnโ€™t traced.

That isnโ€™t always true.

โ€ข When a claim may be possible

Motorcycle News (MCN) has released a detailed look at the state of UK roads and the findings are hard to ignore.

The latest ALARM survey shows an ยฃ18.62 billion backlog in repairs across England and Wales and councils simply cannot keep up after one of the wettest winters on record.

Bikelawyer partner Ian Dexter spoke to MCN about the rise in riders injured by potholes and why good evidence and reporting defects can make a real difference when someone is hurt.

If you ride regularly, this is essential reading. It explains what councils rely on when defending pothole claims and what you can do to protect yourself legally if you are involved in an incident.

Stay safe and if you need advice after a pothole incident, we are here to help.

The Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA) have released their Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance (ALARM) survey, revealing it would now take 12 years to tackle the full pothole problem.
