    Was there a good reason you didn't see the sunken section of road surface in your headlights?

    This forum, man oh man....
    Seriously this is THE most unfriendly, accusatory and downright awkward motoring forum I've ever some across, without exception. 
    Seriously, you can't imagine a scenario where they didn't see the object?
    No?
    None?
    I'm sure in certain circumstances there are plenty - but in suburban London whilst driving a 4x4 it's all a bit convenient that an invisible hole caused £1.4k damage to something that was already on it's way out and it's taken OP over 2yrs to start proceedings since the original post

    Even ignoring this particular post, the 'victim blaming' that goes on in this forum is shocking.
