If we get a "salty winter" keep it well washed off but not by driving through a puddle that concealed this pothole in east Croydon . Friend of mine drove into it yesterday, wrecked a wheel and tyre and possibly more. While she was calling the recovery service another driver did the same. Turns out that Thames Water had "fixed" a leak the day before, filled in the hole, taken down the barriers and B******d off . The leak reappeared over night and washed out the fill and yesterday's rain and wet roads disguised it.
