RAC reveals 'pothole plague' worse than ever in new study
That was a 19% increase from 7,904 during the same period last year.
Common vehicle problems caused by potholes include damaged shock absorbers, broken suspension springs and distorted wheels.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has previously said broken roads 'can risk lives and cost families hundreds if not thousands of pounds on repairs', adding that councils should 'get on with the job' of repairing them.

Potholes are often formed when water freezes and expands after entering cracks in road surfaces.
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: 'Our pothole-related breakdown data is a very clear reflection of the true state of the UK's roads, and it sadly shows the pothole plague is as prevalent as ever.
'Suffering a breakdown due to wear and tear caused by the poor quality of roads is frustrating beyond belief, particularly as the average cost of repairing anything more than a puncture is £460.
'The cost of motoring is high enough already without having to fork out extra money to get your car back on the road.
'Drivers shouldn't have to bear the brunt of these costs – they're only having to because the roads have been allowed to get into such a dire state.
'After filling dangerous potholes as permanently as possible, we urge councils to prioritise preventative maintenance such as surface dressing to stop future potholes appearing.'
The cost of bringing pothole-plagued local roads in England and Wales up to scratch has been estimated at a record £16.8 billion.
Local roads maintenance funding for England provided by the Government for this financial year is nearly £1.6 billion – a rise of £500 million compared with the previous 12 months.
The increase is estimated to be enough to fix around seven million potholes.
A quarter of the uplift is being held back until authorities have provided evidence they are using the funding wisely.

Local Government Association transport spokesman Adam Hug said: 'Greater, long-term funding certainty for local highways authorities – with five-yearly funding allocations on a par with National Highways – is needed to tackle the multibillion-pound local roads backlog.
'This will enable councils to better monitor, plan for and invest in preventative treatments, which keep surfaces in better condition for longer and are cheaper than reactive repairs.
'The one-year boost to pothole funding confirmed earlier this month is good, and recognition that funding had been inadequate to keep roads maintained.'
The Department for Transport has been approached for a comment.

Drivers need to do three checks before using their car during hot weather, RAC says
Read on for some breakdown survial tips to keep you safe and cool if your car lets you down in the heat HOT WHEELS Drivers need to do three checks before using their car during hot weather, RAC says DRIVERS are being urged to carry out three vital checks before hitting the road in scorching weather. As UK temperatures soar, motoring experts say failing to prep your car properly could leave you stranded in the heat. 3 The UK heatwave means breakdown rescue wait times are soaring Credit: Getty 3 Three simple checks can prevent you from breaking down in the sweltering heat Credit: Getty Breakdowns are already on the rise - leaving thousands of drivers are being left stranded every day. And with the heatwave chaos, rescue wait times are soaring. Experts are warning Brits to act now before hitting the road and say a few simple checks could save your motor - and your wallet - from a summer meltdown. RAC breakdown spokesperson Alice Simpson said: 'We're seeing a surge in breakdowns as this latest period of hot weather takes hold, with up to 20% more vehicles failing than expected at this point in July. "With above-average temperatures in many parts expected for the foreseeable future, very high volumes of breakdowns will persist through this coming weekend and well into next week. "Our teams are working incredibly hard to help thousands of stranded drivers every day, but waiting times are longer as a result." What to check? Drivers are being urged to check oil and coolant levels, as well as tyre pressure and tread, before setting off. And if you spot a problem, don't risk it - get it looked at by a mechanic or trusted garage before heading out, or you could end up broken down on the hard shoulder in blistering heat. Alice continued: 'Drivers should do whatever they can to avoid their vehicles letting them down in these conditions - oil and coolant levels, as well as tyres, must be checked before journeys are made. "If anything isn't right, get the problem diagnosed by a mobile mechanic or reputable garage, rather than running the risk of driving. Six items every UK driver should remove from cars this weekend "Taking plenty of breaks on long journeys, to give themselves and their cars a rest, is also important." Breakdown Survival Tips Motorists are also being told to prepare for the worst - just in case the car does conk out. Always carry plenty of drinking water, especially if you're travelling with kids or pets, and don't forget sun cream, a sun hat, and even an umbrella to provide shade while you wait for help. Experts say if you do break down, it's vital to get out safely and seek shade where possible - as sitting in a sweltering vehicle can be just as dangerous as being stuck outside. Alice added: 'Staying safe in the heat, especially if a breakdown is unavoidable, should be in the mind of every driver. "Carrying plenty of water for all passengers is a must, as is keeping sunscreen and a sun hat or even umbrella to hand to reduce the ferocity of the sun. "When waiting for assistance, look for a safe location in the shade and well away from moving traffic." 3 Always carry plenty of drinking water and sun cream Credit: Getty

Drivers could be fined £100 for not knowing common motorway rule
Motoring experts are urging drivers to be aware of the rules of the road as police are cracking down on a common driving offence that is committed on motorways every day Motorists are being warned they could be hit with fines and penalty points for one of the most frustrating habits on the UK's motorways. Police are ramping up efforts to tackle middle lane hogging, a practice all too common on motorways across the country, causing frustration day in, day out. Notoriously among the most overlooked driving regulations, many drivers are blissfully unaware that they're even making a mistake. Middle lane hogging happens when drivers remain in the motorway's middle lane despite the inside lane being clear, leading to unnecessary congestion as vehicles are forced to overtake by switching to the outer lane. It can clog motorways and irritate drivers. Middle lane hogging is listed amongst the most annoying kinds of driver behaviour in Britain, reports Birmingham Live. While ignorance can play a part, other drivers simply can't be bothered to switch back to the inside lane - or prefer driving there. Those caught lounging in the middle lane risk facing a hefty £100 fine and receiving three points on their licence. Warnings and driver education on the issue may precede penalties, giving offenders an opportunity to understand the error of their ways and its ramifications. A spokesperson for Bumper, leaders in car repairs, said: "Middle lane hogging might seem harmless to some, but it can have real consequences. "Not only can it earn you a £100 fine and three penalty points, but it also disrupts the natural flow of motorway traffic, causing frustration and potentially dangerous overtaking. "Staying in the left-hand lane when not overtaking is a simple rule that makes a big difference to everyone's journey. "With more drivers heading out for summer road trips, it's vital to brush up on motorway etiquette to avoid unnecessary penalties that could impact your insurance premiums." RAC explains why middle-lane hogging is bad The RAC website states that in busy periods, such hogging can cause congestion as traffic is forced into the outside lane to pass a lane hogger. Their site says: "If the driver in the middle lane moved over, the same traffic could be split over two lanes, spreading the flow of traffic to prevent it bunching up in the outer lanes. Many also see staying in the middle lane as selfish, because if someone is correctly following the Highway Code and driving in the inside lane when they catch up with a middle-lane hogger, they then need to move across two lanes to overtake the lane hogger to avoid 'undertaking'. "This also means the overtaker has to complete four lane changes in total, instead of two."
