It might be trendy to criticise people who drive tank-like 4x4s in urban areas but they might soon be the only road users who are able to traverse the broken tarmac of our towns and cities.

The potholes are getting so bad I'm thinking of swapping my motorcycle for something with four giant wheels and a macho name such as Patriot or Grand Cherokee for the daily commute.

I realise I may miss the nightly thrill of potholes rushing towards me out of the dark like banshees but at least I'll be able to join my fellow car drivers in updating my Facebook status and tweeting my OMGs and LOLs as I sit stranded in a traffic jam I'm helping to cause.
