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.

Car doesn’t crash into building : Dereham pub could lose thousands over broken traffic lights
A publican fears he could lose thousands of pounds during the Easter weekend after a crash which stopped traffic lights has turned customers away from the area.
The Railway Tavern on Yaxham Road in Dereham is experiencing a fall in trade following an accident when a car crashed into an electricity box earlier this week.
The delay has left publican, Paul Sandford, fearing customers will be put off from visiting the Railway Tavern over the Easter weekend.
Mr Sandford said the Easter weekend is historically “the busiest weekend of the year” and he could lose “potentially thousands” over the ordeal.
