Up For Grabs - Pothole Survival Kit 

To mark National Pothole Day (Jan 15th), FixMyCar, one of the UK’s leading online car repair marketplace, is offering the chance to win a Pothole Survival Kit worth £139 - closing date 8am, Friday 23rd January 2026

The Pothole Survival Kit contains:

• Car Emergency Accident & Breakdown Kit including 17 items you might need from warning triangle and tyre pressure gauge all the way through to a survival blanket and long-life food ration
• A 10000mAh Portable Power Banks in USB-C, Micro USB and Lightning Cables

UK government data reveals a massive pothole problem, with millions reported and filled annually, costing drivers significantly; recent government initiatives include £7.3 billion funding and a new traffic-light rating system (red, amber, green) to assess council performance in using funds for repairs, highlighting poor performers while encouraging better road maintenance nationally.
