We hit a nasty pothole south of Bristol and the engine stopped and wouldn't restart. The car behind us stopped with a puncture and buckled wheel! My car wouldn't start and the breakdown man diagnosed that the fuel cut off had been activated by the shock and fortunately reset it in about a minute.
Symptoms are that the engine loses power and the car drifts to a stop. Using the starter turns it over briskly but doesn't fire. There is fuel in the tank and the green key light doesn't flash

10 -15 year ago some roads in eastern europe ,India etc were awful. If you hit a major pothole too fast it was your own stupid fault - what else did you expect? But they have improved their roads. The Uk has gone backwards. Its in a transitional phase. You expect better but are often caught out.
