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.

One car appears to have crashed into the Deichmann store

It’ll be another ‘electric car/ pressed wrong pedal hard/ massive acceleration’ story. I actually witnessed one of these which demolished the men’s toilets in Garstang- anybody in the way of that rocket car would likely have been killed- I wonder if these electric cars have a mode which prohibits lift-off acceleration in the first couple of minutes after starting? Anybody here got one? We have to hope that the insurance increase keeps him off the road, because the police won’t be doing anything. Yet more ‘air ambulance’ rubbish when all the air bags went off and nobody was hurt (is my guess) and vast amounts of money were wasted all around the incident.

I see the mannequin was wearing black, so y’know, he probably didn’t see him if he just looked out for himself and put some hi viz on

Makes sense – if they’re going to be regular deliveries they may as well have a proper loading bay installed.
