Pensioners and Arnold Schwarzenegger: The pothole vigilantes who took road repairs into their own hands

Frustrated motorists around the world have carried out DIY road repairs

From DIY repairs to crude graffiti on the road, frustrated motorists around the world have often resorted to taking matters into their own hands to get potholes on their streets fixed.

An Italian pensioner fined for fixing a road himself and a New Zealand motorist who spray-painted penises on the street to force speedy repairs are just two of the pothole vigilantes who have recently emerged.

Even Arnold Schwarzenegger recently took it upon himself to fill what he thought was a pothole in his neighbourhood.
