On the night of friday 21 st November at approx 18.40 hours I was driving towards Rothwell from Orton in terrible rain and an oncoming car required me to move from the centre of the carriage way to the left whereupon I struck a large potholes that immediately punctured both my nearside tyres . As I was not travelling quickly I brought my vehicle to a controlled stop but I had to have my vehicle recovered and both tyres replaced at a cost of £260 . As I was being driven away by the recovery team I saw another vehicle had the same issue at the same spot..
