    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.” ‘

    I don’t think it would have

    I don’t think it would have been published if it was. They always warn “distressing images”.

    I suppose there is some truth

    I suppose there is some truth in that. Drivers may slow down if they see something unexpected ahead. But as my photo a few posts earlier shows, you get some who don’t slow despite the road markings and chevron signage.

    It’s not about “speeding”,

    It’s not about “speeding”, though we know how often speed limits are actually observed, but going too fast for the conditions and to be able to stop in time when seeing an obstruction, in this case 4 ponies.

    Here’s the full picture from

    Here’s the full picture from the Echo website – what on Earth is all that gunge on the windscreen, where’s it from?  The ponies were in the road hoovering up the salt, so is it from the collision?

    Hampshire county councillor David Harrison, a member of the National Park Authority, listed several measures that have already been implemented in a bid to reduce the number of animal accidents in the district.

    He added: “I think if there was an easy answer to stopping incidents like this, steps would have already been taken.” – average speed cameras, Cllr Harrison?”

    No excuse but it was
    No excuse but it was incredibly foggy over the Forest last night, I couldn’t drive safely much over 20mph. Looking at the damage to the Disco he must have been doing more than 40. Bet he’s local too.

    They showed the carnage

    They showed the carnage caused by the “accident” on South Today, I think it was to show the public the actual 4 dead ponies, very rare that, maybe the motorists might slow down a bit, or really look where they are going.

    Don’t worry though, the good poeple of the New Forest will be blaming cyclists for all of their ills in a bit…

    Unfortunately not buildings

    Unfortunately not buildings but look at the state of the car that should have only been doing 40mph max before the collision.
