Potholes can very quickly become a road user’s worst nightmare, turning an effortless commute into a laborious workout to replace a ruptured tyre. In an effort to prevent this from happening near his home in England, pop-icon Sir Rod Stewart has taken to repairing potholes when he is not serenading audiences with his melodies.

It seems that despite a knighthood by the Queen of England, even pop-icon Sir Rod Stewart is exposed to the pitfalls millions of road-users face every day; potholes. However instead of complaining about it like many of us do, he has rolled up his sleeves and taken matters that have worsened over a few years into his own hands saying “I’m repairing the street near where I live because no one can be bothered to do it,”
Donned in an Adidas tracksuit and high-visibility safety vest, he and a small team of men are filmed shovelling gravel into deceptively deep crevices that scatter the length of the road in the vicinity of his home in Harlow, England. Yes, potholes exist outside of the confines of South Africa too!
The narrow road being repaired by pop-icon Sir Rod Stewart and ‘the boys’ seems to be more scarred with holes than flat patches of black tarmac. In the videos narrated by the singer-songwriter, he further adds that people are “bashing up their cars” using the country road and a broken hubcap strewn on the side attests to this.
He further added that an ambulance had punctured its tyre on one of the deep crevices insinuating how unsafe the road was to use for emergency personnel just before adding that his Ferrari F8 Tributo can’t navigate the remaining road at all.

Hey Sir Rod Stewart, when you finish your endeavours at home we may have some more work for you on the roads in South Africa!
