Default Warning - Old Kent Road

The worlds biggest pot hole seems to of grown by the lights at toys r us, going towards new cross.

I think some silly buggers moved the cones on the road works, because I hit the thing going along at arround 30 (there was traffic ) Almost broke my my armss off, and if my suspension wasn't so hard I would of proberly lost the front end, instead of it just boucning hard.

Watch out!
Dan

Someone probably did not see all the cones and mowed them down, nice.

And no I'm not going to pull you up on observational skills as peeps in glasshouses - I nearly ran it to the back of a Z4 who indicated and pulled out in one manoeuvre

That would be because if you have time to look at the road in London you would be dead? I tend to concentrate on obvious road issues, different colurs, gravel, oil, etc but mainly focus on whats surrounding me, so I know whats either side, in front and behind me and roughtly distances, along with planning escape routes, and then making progress....
