    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.” ‘

    “While our beautiful pub is looking significantly worse for wear, we have been very lucky; nobody was hurt in the incident, and everyone got out safely.”

    Probably not the only one, eh?

    ..not to mention traffic.

    Why bother with your £25000 -sorry-  £450/month for 36 months “performance” car, unless you live in a car advert.

    … 62mph in a 50mph limit on the Dorset Way in Poole.

    Hardly impressive, even the austin metro could do 62mph. Performance cars all just so pointless, just about every car on the road is limited by driver consience (sadly) not car performance.

    There are lots of deleted comments, some proper nastiness below the line in Bolton.

    But this one was a beauty-

    No description of the driver as he had a Baklava covering his face 🙂

    I passed this scene yesterday. Apparently self driving BMW swerved to avoid another car. Shop should have had lights and bright signs on.

    A 24-year-old resident, who had been enjoying some drinks with her flatmate, was getting into bed when the crash happened.

    She said: “There was just this huge impact. The whole building shook and there was a bang.

    “My flatmate thought I had fallen out of bed. She came upstairs and I told her someone had driven into the building. She said, ‘Don’t be silly.’”

    The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, lives on the second floor of the block.
