A self-employed Edinburgh worker has said that he has been unable to work after a pothole on Glasgow Road destroyed two of his car’s tyres and its suspension.
Mark Reid, 49, was heading back from work when he felt a thud on the A8 dual carriageway opposite the BP garage. The incident occurred at around 4:15pm on Thursday 19 January.
He claims that the pothole not only damaged two of his alloys but also two tyres and the suspension. Mark was forced to leave his car on the side of the road due to the damage and being ‘abandoned’ by the AA.
