Cold start to year blamed for spike in pothole problems for motorists
Yorkshire Evening Post
|August 26, 2025
Breakdown rescue company reports sharp hike in call-outs
Cold weather at the start of the year caused a spike in pothole-related breakdowns between April and June, new figures show.
The RAC said it received nine per cent more call-outs likely caused by poor road surfaces in that period compared with a year earlier.
It attributed this to the first three months of the year generally being colder than in 2024.
More severe winter conditions create additional potholes as water seeps into existing cracks in roads, then freezes and expands.
