Running this one up the flagpole to see who salutes… 

I just don’t remember this being a thing until recently, now it seems a daily occurrence.
Could it be that there are drivers not up to the job, too many cars; should houses be made to ride in single file, shops put on high viz, why are we putting newer buildings in danger like this, it’s irresponsible.

Y’know, Rich_bc of this

Y’know, Rich_bc of this parish was starting to sound convincing on the subject but this column’s really making me doubt the safety of these self-driving cars.  Machines still can’t replace (drunk, vision-impaired, speeding, distracted, show-off, self-regarding, risk-taking, careless) humans!

One person was trapped in the silver Toyota Celica and had to be freed by firefighters.

This is getting worse; not only are self-driving cars crashing, they’re now trapping innocent occupants inside!

Can they be sure it wasn’t a cyclist though (who became invisible again after colliding with the pedestrian)?

Looking at the narrow one way

Looking at the narrow one way street, it would be really hard to have any speed to ram through the barriers doing anything normal, so my guess is that someone either was avoiding a head-on on a one way street,(!) or was being desparately incompetent getting out of a parking place – perhaps the old “there are too many pedals in an automatic” routine. It doesn’t look like there could be a clear run from the A57 to have done some bizzarre high speed swerve.
