Councils across Scotland have paid out more than £3.5 million in pothole compensation in the past five years.
Drivers have billed local authorities for damage caused by the roads including burst tyres and suspension damage since 2008.
And the trend is increasing, with £1.2m paid out last year alone.
Aberdeenshire Council paid disgruntled drivers £141,514 since 2007/8 compared to Angus Council which paid £10,320.52 over the five years.
Clackmannanshire Council paid £3,364.85 while Dundee City Council paid £59,013.60 and Fife Council £20,369.76.
In Perth and Kinross the bill came to £15,088.89 and in Stirling it was £46,303.95.
The figures, obtained under freedom of information legislation by the Scottish Conservatives, come after the AA slated Scotland’s roads for being the worst in the UK.
A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: “The maintenance of local roads is a matter for local authorities who received almost £11 billion in Scottish Government funding this year.
“Additionally, through our £250m annual investment, Scottish ministers continue to deliver an extensive maintenance and improvement programme on our major A class roads and motorways, with road safety a key priority despite a 26% cut to Scotland’s capital budget as a result of Westminster Government cuts.”
