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.” ‘

Ah, the Watford road bollards
Make them wear hi-viz, and keep well to the side of the road, because if only they were visible to motorists, and were not in their way, the roads would be safe for bollards …

Can you man-handle an empty skip along the ground? I suppose the lorry could pull it out, which might have been what was being attempted here as the door frame has been pulled away.  Seems like a lot of trouble for builders to go to?

[IanMSpencer]

It could be that the skip was
It could be that the skip was delivered and the builders shoved it into the building empty. Skip lorries often pick up skips in odd ways (I’ve lived next to a few building sites) so the builders assumed the skip lorry could drag it out, and didn’t account for a spacially challenged driver?

Audi driver leaves cars and garden wall wrecked after ‘losing it’ in residential street

Horrified neighbours say the driver was travelling at up to 70mph along the residential road

“The driver got up and walked away, it’s horrendous, they just fly up and down.”

“We’re on the phone to insurance now and they’re saying we’re going to have to pay the excess because there were no tags on the Audi, and it belonged to no-one. It’s likely that they’ll never find the person.”

It says collision in the article but I’m wondering if the skip was through the large door and they ripped the doors off trying to get it out.

If it was a collision, there was #NoDriverInvolved
