Motorists across the UK are up in arms over a hazardous 'killer kerb' that has left a trail of destruction, with repair bills soaring into the thousands. The offending kerb, blamed for severe damage to wheels, tyres, and suspensions, has become a notorious black spot for drivers.
Local authorities are under fire for failing to address the issue promptly, despite numerous complaints from affected drivers. Many have reported being left stranded with hefty repair costs after encountering the deceptively dangerous kerb.
Mounting Financial Toll
The financial impact on drivers has been severe:
- Average repair costs exceeding £500 per incident
- Multiple reports of alloy wheel replacements needed
- Some cases requiring full suspension overhauls
One frustrated motorist told reporters: 'It's an absolute disgrace. I was left with a £700 bill for something that could have been prevented with proper road maintenance.'
Calls for Immediate Action
Road safety campaigners are demanding urgent action:
- Immediate inspection of the problematic kerb
- Compensation for affected drivers
- Review of similar hazardous road features nationwide
The Department for Transport has acknowledged receiving complaints but has yet to announce specific measures to address the growing crisis.
