    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.” ‘

    Any cyclists driving should have to wear a tabard with their registration number on it.

    Obviously they are the ones driving on the pavement, no lights, dressed in black and the aforementioned running red lights.

    And of course, breaking the 20 mile an hour speed limit.

    We need a way to identify cyclists when they’re driving

    More like this road’s not big enough for a bike lane and cars because of flooding

    I’m puzzled by this one – could it be the start of self-driving cars targetting motorbikes?

    Well, you can’t expect the driver to eat last night’s left over curry, text his girlfriend, leer at some totty* on the other side of the road and remain in control, can you?

    *Which reminds me of a school mate in the 1970s who as a first year student in Lancaster got an inheritance and blew it on a  brand new Triumph Dolomite Sprint (the dog’s bo*****s at the time) and within 2 weeks ploughed into a parked car because he was letching at some girl on the other side of the road.

    Maybe he had to intervene to stop it assaulting another innocent vehicle.

    Please get the facts before offensive comments. There was a reason why he hit the pump. Just for the record he is a responsible driver and not a boy racer.

    Like I said [err, this appears to be your first post here] get your facts right before commenting. There was a genuine reason why he hit the pumps. If he was being irresponsible he would of been arrested. I know this person personally and that was not the case. Insensitive commenting without knowing the facts is not helpful

    I guess we’ll never get to know the “genuine reason” for hitting the pump? Not remotely a boy racer, no sireee.
