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.” ‘

The offence in law may be a

The offence in law may be a single one of being unfit to drive through drink or drugs, but that doesn’t mean that they couldn’t have been charged separately with being unfit through drink and being unfit through drugs. Just like if you stole three bikes you’d be charged with three counts of theft.

Oh, wait… in that case you’d be charged with no counts… hang on… what was the point I was making again…?

It’s ‘unfit to drive through drink or drugs’

The fourth offence would have been ‘fail to report an RTC’, which is often coupled with ‘fail to stop’.

Police later confirmed that around 150 vehicles attended.

Locals say they had to put up with the sound of revving engines and honking horns, plus a “haze of smoke” drifting over the neighbourhood.

Finally, one of three fly tipping pictures from today’s walk – this is a byway, and the amount of general crap lying around is always greater where so-called off-roaders are allowed.

Can’t understand all these people arriving at the front of the War on the Motorist not equipped with tanks? Or at least self-recovering vehicles. Are we failing to learn from history?

I trust that all of those drivers were referred to the crown court, facing a minimum ten years in jail, and that the attorney general and the transport secretary (?) got involved…?

I was assuming ‘unift through drink’ and ‘[unfit through] drugs’ were separate offences.
