    This defect remains and caused damage to my vehicle on 02/04/2026 at approximately 9:15am. Given its location immediately before the A5 junction, it is not possible to avoid safely when oncoming traffic is present. This issue has been reported previously but remains unresolved and continues to pose a risk to road users.
