I was pulling into a filling station yesterday, when I noticed a large pothole right in the entrance, but just off the main road. It was about a foot across (perhaps slightly more), and eight inches deep. I mentoined this to the cashier, and pointed out that it was a hazard for motorcycles, which he seemed to think very amusing (he laughed).
Anyway, I wondered what the legal situation would be if one happened to come off due to such a pothole in this location (a filling station forecourt), or on a public highway. Presumably one could sue the petrol station owners in the former case?
