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.” ‘

Looks to me like they crashed into a “give way” sign

False advertising, if you ask me. That post didn’t give way when it was hit!

It doesn’t seem to have enlightened the driver.

I do however approve of this new “active notification” system.  Ignore a sign and it will helpfully come and let you know.

I think there’s precedent for including any car hits any substantial permanent roadside object story.  

There’s a prize of a table for two at The Farmers Dog (second prize, two tables) for driverless, speed limit, flashy car, clear conditions, no-one seriously hurt.

Nul points for any “should have gone to Specsavers” comments if it’s an opticians.
