I have just hit the forementioned pothole on my motorcycle and I nearly crashed in front of approaching traffic. This pothole is extremely dangerous and needs fixing before somebody gets hurt.

Still there, very deep, very dangerous. I can’t understand how this could be given priority 4. For motorcyclist there is a risk to life and for motorists severe damage.
