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.

Dorset trains: Crash between Wool and Weymouth stations

The crash happened between the Wool and Weymouth line on Friday evening, February 14 and left the fencing and equipment ruined. 

Dorset Police said a white Mercedes had crashed into the level crossing barrier in Lewell Road, near Crossways.

Earlier, a man driving the Mercedes stopped to assist after coming across two men by a silver Ford Focus.

It appeared their vehicle had either broken down or been involved in a collision.

Police said the two men then removed the Mercedes driver from his car and attempted to drive off in the vehicle, before colliding with a barrier at a level crossing.

Phone cameras store the rotation of the device into the EXIF flags of photos and IIRC road.cc honours that flag. If you load the photo into a suitable editing tool, you can usually strip the EXIF flags and then rotate the picture how you like.

Meanwhile a Mini driver gets stuck in sand dunes at Newborough, Anglesey, where wind-blown sand had built up near the exit of the car park (though knowing the site well, I don’t know why they didn’t just go out the same way they came in).
