Last week we brought you the news that JCB has unveiled a specific vehicle designed to fix the nation s ravaged roads.
The PotholePro is a £165,000 heavy-duty model that s claimed to be able to fill a crater in less than eight minutes and can complete jobs that usually require three different road-repairing machines.
Now the British digger maker wants to prove just how capable the vehicle is by filling in three of the nation s worst known potholes and is calling on drivers and members of the public to nominate the biggest and most damaging they ve come across.
Hundreds of people have responded to JCB on social media to post their recommendations for the worst potholes they ve seen. But do you know of any that are bigger than those already submitted?

British manufacturer JCB has launched a new vehicle that s specifically designed to eradicate potholes from our roads in record time.
Called the PotholePro, the heavy-duty machine has been revealed ahead of National Pothole Day on Friday, though it has already been undergoing trials in England for months.
JCB says it is the most efficient vehicle of its type, providing the repair capability usually required from three separate machines. That means it not only cuts down on pothole filling costs and time but also reduces the emissions impact usually involved to fix them and - at a price of £165,000 or £600 per week to lease it - is more affordable for local authorities and road operators.

Vibration Action founder Jason Johnstone has the rarely diagnosed Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and has developed a watch monitor to help prevent other power tool workers from suffering with it.

Jason Johnstone had worked with power tools for most of his adult life when his fingers started going numb and pale. He ignored the problem despite dropping dishes and other items as he struggled to hold onto them.
