Car crashes into building - please post your Local news stories

It probably got there by the same mechanism that cars are able to park on a pavement without commiting the moving traffic offence of driving on the pavement. #NoDriverInvolved.

" a "single, brief incident" in which the damage caused to the train was "minor". "

Good to see you back

Yeah, in a different world we'd be better at separating the sheep from goats for diversion to effective social service / mental health support early doors. Or - if we want to run a more individualistic model (like US) - just lock people up (or allow citizens to do DIY law and order). However it seems we're falling between those stools, at least when it comes to the roads.

EDIT: "periscope depth, number one". Have they pixelated out three ducks? 

We want the ducks to have a fair trial if they're eventually accused of being behind this.

Have you not noticed that as the tide rises, the ducks somehow stay just on top. Not possible unless they're somehow causing the tides.

Also: No buildings harmed here, but if you look beyond the "re-design" headline, the person is making some good points about cars in Mevagissey.

Unfortunately Mevagissey isn't the sort of place that could easily ban cars from the centre. You can't make it residents/permit holders only unless you wanted to create a 10 mile diversion to get to Portmellon. It is a terrible place to drive through or around, but needs must at times

Good use by witness of the word "kerfuffle", though placed alongside "carnage" and two men with axes, I don't know if it is an entirely appropriate word.

"They also said "With rain now on the roads please bear this in mind before planting the loud pedal"

Watching ch5s Motorway (it's no Police Interceptors), a Lamborghini managed to crash in the rain, a brand known for awful handling, what with its 4 wheel drive and motorways being mostly straight lines...

8 week suspended jail sentence.

Four year Ban.

Costs and victim surcharge.

20 days public service unpaid work (I assume the unpaid work).

- Ouch.

A bit of T cut would sort that

Strange how some of the people who own those vehicles state they want "bigger cars to keep the occupants safe", yet flip onto their side or roof at the drop of a hat.

Damn that public transport infrastructure.

I did wonder how much over the speed limit he was doing. I'm assuming twitter user is guessing on exact speed but must have been at 3 figures. Careless Driving? Maybe a year or two in jail if he gets a "strong" judge. (Speed limit is 40mph there).

Surprised Grant hasn't insisted on speed limiters in newer cars being as the technology exists nowadays.

Evidently they don't trust drivers to drive safely through the drive-thru. It's a wonder they don't close it down for everybody's safety.

his vehicle was in a collision with East Linton Bridge

But who was to blame - the vehicle or East Linton Bridge? And where was he whilst his vehicle was involved in these shenanigans?

Spontaneous vehicular combustion.  "Everything in front of the rear wheels was reduced to ash, yet a pair of furry dice lay untouched amid the embers".

Possibly being driven by a Spinal Tap drummer?

Checking up, that one Connor Gordon got a 40 month ban, and a small fine.
