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.” ‘

It’s high time that these obstructions that just hold up the traffic were removed from our streets – the schools go back in a few days’ time, what will it be like then??
Bet they didn’t have lights either. I mean, it’s a RED CAR, did neither of them see him coming?

“A VAN driver has ‘wiped out’ a serving hatch at a Hampshire fast food restaurant as he drove the ‘wrong way’ down the drive-thru.

A witness has described the moment he saw a van drive the wrong way through the drive-thru at Burger King in Hedge End, ‘wiping out’ one of the serving hatches and damaging his own van.”

Imagine the dire consequences of allowing bikes in!!

“Really? The evidence?”

“Really? The evidence?”

The link in their post shows that the man got 13 months prison, disqualified from driving for nine and half years and costs of £140 for crashing into a house.  That was evidence.

It doesn’t negate the fact that the police should investigate your fence being regularly flattened of course, so it’s understandable that you’re angry.

>crashing into and damaging a house carries a far higher punishment than >crashing into and killing a person

Really? The evidence? We live on a corner & have had our fence demolished twice (@ £1500 a time) by probable drunk drivers who simply reversed &  drove away. Police won’t even accept a report. Our insurance company says that’s the norm.

Wow! “According to Thames Valley Police, the driver of the Audi – who ran away after crashing the car into the pub, leaving a man in his thirties seriously injured in the passenger seat – has not yet been found.”

Hitch-hiker, was he?

Audis in public houses.
