Every year many people lose their lives due to road accidents and what is more hurtful is that these accidents can be avoided if drivers follow the safety rules properly. However, another big reason of road accidents is bad condition of roads and while we Indians keep on ranting against the authorities for poor conditions of roads which damage further when it rains, this problem persists in other countries as well.
Recently, an online user from United Kingdom posted a photo of a damaged road which was fixed by the authorities by using tar and gravel as a result of which the road had patches of both the components.
The pic was captioned with, “Only in Britain would a road look like this.”

After looking at these tweets, we can console ourselves that people from other countries are also facing the same problem and we are not the only ones who are trying to find roads between the potholes.
The good part is that things are getting a little better with time and the authorities are getting serious towards providing the citizens with better roads but still a lot remains to be done in this regard.
