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.

The defence barrister also noted that since his offence he had been diagnosed with a medical condition and has had further instances of passing out, adding: “The condition does appear to have had some impact.”

Explaining his other offences, she said: “Mr Morland was homeless living in his car and officers stopped him when he was drinking in his car, which was essentially his home.

Ah, one of those anachronistic objects! I’m just waiting for “Prius found in prehistoric passage grave”. (Maybe left as an offering after its battery would no longer hold charge?)

There appears to be a bollard at a 45º angle mostly obscured by the bins – presumably they were able to remove that and then drive through the gap.

Classic paper headline
Classic paper headline “Bridge hit by bus” like the poor bus was minding it’s own business driving itself along, when out popped a bridge from absolutely nowhere that ripped it’s roof off.

Since the police have already charged the driver, with driving offences, why can’t the headline be “Bus driver charged after crashing into bridge”
