Worn Road Markings: A Growing Concern
We are all aware of the dangers posed by potholes, but another critical issue on our roads is being overlooked: worn road markings.
The country that invented cats' eyes now seems barely capable of giving its road network a lick of paint, which will likely lead to accidents.
A notable example is a Mercedes E-class that was stopped by police and deemed unroadworthy due to its poor condition, despite having covered 753,186 miles.
It must have been undergoing some sort of maintenance, just not enough to keep it safe for use on the roads.
This highlights the need for regular maintenance, not just for vehicles, but also for our roads, perhaps an equivalent of the MOT test for roads.
