    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.” ‘

    You have to be getting that road spectacularly wrong, to have driven into that by mistake.

    Isn’t that precisely why they put bollards in front of shop windows etc?  Because some people will try and crash their car into the shop entrance on purpose

    Car crash outside Marks and

    Car crash outside Marks and Spencer in Ferndown

    One witness told the Daily Echo: “The impact caused a lot of damage to the car. The police and ambulance got there really quickly. They added: “If the bollards hadn’t been there, I think the car would have gone straight through the shop entrance.”

    No, I certainly wouldn’t. I’d be running away.

    I used to be really scared of a particular bridge, but I’ve learnt to get over it

    Nope, disqualified. The newspaper and eye witness both state  “driver” and we know these incidents happen when the car does it all by themselves.

    I was surprised to see the use of ‘driver’ in that article, so maybe some reporters are trying to use appropriate language now.

    However, the titles under the images are labelled “A car crashed into a traffic light on Fishponds Road in Bristol” so I think it still counts.

    that’s because it doesn’t, leastways not any time soon. A lot of ambulance trusts on business continuity incident status at the moment -e.g.  Wales, SWAST, SECAMB, EEAST

    Yep, more like it as the car

    Yep, more like it as the car did it in the headlines. (Although medical episode is the closest to not being driven).
