I hate potholes, but thats a hella lot of damaged from one :S

Sorry to hear that mate, but ur AU sounds ****en awesome... Post some pics :P

If it was in fact a pothole, contact the local council with a letter listing the damages and seeking compensation. If that doesn't work, go and see a solicitor.

I must say though, that 90km/h in pouring rain with low visibility was probably about 20 or 30 too fast anyway, even if the limit is 90 or 100.

you know, they say seeing is believing. but sucks about the damage. follow JC's advice, we did something similar, with *something* i totally forget, and we got compo for it :

[Kryton]

the local council.

i know this will be hard but get pics of the pothole with a ruler or something in it to show how big and deep it is.
this will all help you get compo.
