Damage and councils

eeehhhh There was an article on some news web site, maybe BBC news, where a guy claimed damages from a council because the pot hole was so big and it buckled his rear wheel. So it is possible. The cyclist-haters said that we shouldn't be able to though, because we don't pay road taxes. :S

Yep, but I thought 'road fund license' was used to maintain the motorways and council tax used to maintain local roads, so cyclists have as much right as anyone.
