    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.” ‘

    What is the cost in terms of the emergency services’ time in picking up the pieces, day after flipping day?  Tempting to say “ok bored now”, but the “cyclists should be made to take a test”, pay insurance, pay ‘road tax’ brigade just keep on coming.

    38 drivers stopped – 15

    38 drivers stopped – 15 vehicles bad enough to be taken off the road, in respectable Trowbridge. The tip of an iceberg. Meanwhile, cyclists should pay road tax, etc.

    The bollards were installed

    The bollards were installed in October 2020 and keep all non-essential vehicles, including shop deliveries, out between 10:30 and 16:30 – long standing rule, apparently.  How ever do they survive? 

    The Bollards look like they’re telescopic – is  the one catching the white car at half mast? Central Canterbury will, I guess, be once again crowded with people in the longer term – but in a lot of places, real world shopping ain’t wot it used to be.

    The Google image is of the scene of the crime.

    There doesn’t seem to be mention of drivers, so I can only assume that they’re autonomous vehicles but having achieved autonomy they just flip themselves over as a protest against their own existence.

    I like the photo that clearly shows the tree and lamp-post in the cycle path.

    I don’t understand what is happening in these car park occurances.

    At least the other one wasn’t blocking the large tree strewn cycle path.

    Train services disrupted by bridge strike – I must get a couple of these each week, just from South West trains. Someone must now gets the rotten job of going out and giving the bridge the OK – another example of how cars abd lorries complicate and add to overheads – still, I’ve paid my £240 annual road tax, so that’s all right.

    Looking at the photo and thinking about litter picks I have been on, the person would have been wearing hi viz.

    “The spokesperson added that due to Covid-19 restrictions the council was currently unable to loan equipment to support litter-picking activities.”

    All they have to do is leave the pickers outside for 72+ hours and tell people to wear gloves.

    Just what? Injuries

    Just what? Injuries Perpetrated on a volunteer (who was trying to address a problem largely made by occupants of cars) by a drugged up driver – and yet it’s still “wear hi vis”!

    Safety warning after roadside litter-picker injured in car collision
    https://www.advertiserandtimes.co.uk/news/car-collision-with-litter-picking-woman-9195177/

    look no further if you needed a summary of how horrid and dangerous a main road is:
    “If you choose to go litter picking, for your safety please don’t litter pick along roads with a speed limit of more than 30mph, highways or highway verges, or any roads where there is no pavement or footpath…and wear appropriate clothing…including a hi-vis vest if possible.”
