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.” ‘

Apparently they did it on sight of the dogs every time.

There’s no dogs allowed on the alpaca-walk as alpacas get very nervous around them. Alpacas can be very skittish, but they’re quite friendly to humans as long as they don’t get spooked. Apparently they spit at each other as a dominance thing, but very rarely spit at humans whereas I’ve heard that llamas can be quite aggressive.

I believe those vehicles are actually designed not to be able to maintain traction with the road surface while being driven below posted speed limits.

I’m sure many pictures could be taken showing no trains on their very expensive separated infrastructure.

Clearly a dangerous bridge there.  Now we’re just waiting for local politicos to demand that the inefficient “train lane” is ripped out to allow more traffic.

Bus gets wedged after collision with Somerset railway bridge

The tyres had to be deflated to get it out

hey! there are some people pretty active in that part of the world that could help with the tyres. Is there some sort of Bat Signal that could be shone to summons them?

I normally only post articles
I normally only post articles where the word driver isn’t mentioned. Sometimes it seems like the writers go out of their way to not mention a driver. This one is different; not only do they mention a driver, they blame them.
