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.

‘A Dorset Police spokesperson said: “Dorset Police was called at 12.48pm on Thursday, August 13, to a report of a collision involving a car and a wall outside Iceland on Poole Road in Bournemouth.

“It is reported that the vehicle was also in collision with a pedestrian, but they did not require medical treatment.” ‘

You could have some ever so

You could have some ever so polite information to drivers saying “please don’t drive into things, or people”. (But don’t worry if you do – accidents happen, we all make mistakes and what was he/she doing there everyone knows how busy it is along there)

I think they should do an advertising campaign.  Send letters to the houses (at least all the ones that have registration e.g. a streetnumberplate) reminding them to share the road (and the off-road).

I don’t know why they don’t just put use a bit of hi-viz paint and maybe strap a bike helmet or two onto the buildings. Couldn’t the council put a bit of white paint on the road to prevent vehicles striking the buildings?

That’s on account of the fact that a bike travelling at 8 mph emits the same amount of CO2 as a Range Rover Discovery (driverless of course).

Good thing it wasn’t a cyclist with high pressure tyres. They’d have sunk to the centre of the earth!
