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.” ‘

Surely just a momentary lapse? At that speed, crashing quite forgivable in the UK courts.

I wonder how many seconds before it was just a good laugh hooning around at 3:30am?

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.

Just to balance (as they seem unable to balance themselves) that it’s big vehicles that fall over, here’s a Fiat 500 on it’s side. Apparently there was a driver, she did a runner though.

Mr Grayson, said: “This accident happened. No-one is blaming Paul, they are all blaming the child.”  Well, Mr Softee’s friend sounds nice.  

“The police seem to be saying highways should do something, it’s not a safe street. I just feel that Paul [Mr Softee] was in the middle of all this as the innocent party.”

Weren’t we meant not to be selling sweet or fatty stuff outside schools?

Because of the size they are

Pretty much, because of the size they are awful for aerodynamics and accelerating that mass requires a lot of fuel.

Far worse outcomes for external vulnerable road users too.

I do understand they are great for assuaging feelings of inadequacy though…

That came to mind, thought

That came to mind, thought that it was a Land /Range Rover though. The other car was the sporty version of the Yaris so one of the smallest cars on the roads.

Thats the one. Out of the junction and into the tower block. Here’s a clip of them getting it out. At the beginning you can see the tyre tracks and the remains of the fence. I’m nearly sure I’ve seen and been passed by that same A4 on various occasions. He really pays no attention to speed limits.
