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.” ‘

Thank-you to all contributors.  An idle lock-down moment originally, but local newspapers continue to deliver these stories week after week.

The e-scooters show how we could regulate motor vehicles if we chose to – who can drive, and within preset limits, but we prefer to indulge drivers in their need for speed. 

I tend to stick with news stories where there aren’t injuries. Perhaps the most abject I found (on an a rare, active search) was car demolishes war memorial – if somehow a cyclist had done that it would have been in the national tabloids. 

A good chunk of the cases we find sound like the local drugs trade in action, arising from that oh so harmless “yeh, I smoke a bit” – the drivers, the way they disappear off, the time of incidents, the makes of cars involved. 

Some crashes are the grey menace, the “I have no choice” brigade – it’s too easy to put a car in gear/ wrong gear and move it – into the end of your own garage or through a shop window.  Have your “medical episode” on the bus, please.

Most are evidence of significant, endemic incompetence among drivers who can’t manage avoid fixed objects, so what chance a moving object – chancing it, over-estimating their own skill, under-estimating the situation. Yet we seem happy to live with it all, a nation of boiled frogs.

I was hoping that you would have the honour of the thousandth post.

I had been looking for a spectacular picture, but I don’t think I could beat a Mini War Memorial Demolition.

I’ve got to check my bike cameras as on the way back from work I went past car which was sticking out into the road at a strange angle. When I got to the front of it I found that a large metal bollard had come out of nowhere and attacked it. Or at least I assume that’s how you destroy the front end of a car on a bollard.

Slight tangent but flip a car while suspended for drink-driving – get a suspended sentence.  Text your ex to speak to their partner (that you’re not allowed to) – likely jail.
