At
Dial Direct, we are pleased with the progress and difference made to date, but road conditions are a lot worse than we thought. We are repairing much bigger, deeper and more severe crevices and holes that occur due to digging during road construction or for creating a passage for the laying of pipes and fibre cables. These are not classified as potholes, but rather road defects or deep trenches requiring reinstatement.
Anton Ossip, Chief Executive Officer of Discovery Insure, says: "If you combine the traditional, defined size of a pothole with the road defects and deep trenches, The Pothole Patrol has repaired the equivalent of 10 000 road defects to date, the equivalent of one rugby field. The Pothole Patrol is committed to repairing as many potholes as it can - typically at an impressive rate of 600 defects per week and is gearing up to be able to repair even more."
