Hit a rather huge one on the way home from work last night......like hitting a kerb at 30mph!! >:(
By the time I got home front nearside tyre had hardly any air left in. Pumped it up but was flat again this morning. Got to my local garage and the front alloy had a huge buckle in it causing the air to leak out.
Fortunately, they were able to beat it out with a copper hammer and re-sealed the tyre. After checking underneath, there was no apparent suspension/steering damage but God knows how!!
Going to report to the local council but probably won't be reaired for weeks unless they have a bucket load of claims from drivers of cars that have been badly damaged by it. :(

In Essex unfortunately they get some guy with a drop-sider to plonk tarmac in the hole that comes out the next time it freezes leaving an even worse hole with loose gravel round it.  Absolutely perfect for taking out motorcyclists.

As for websites to map them.... I can't see anyone removing the reports when they're fixed so that's a non-starter. ::)
