David9694Running 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.” ‘

Hard to understand how they got there, as if on the main road, they’d have had to be in the bus lane or jumped over the reservation. Coming along the side road seems even more unclear.
my guess would be a bit of WhatsApp gap going on here – driver didn’t spot stationary traffic ahead and veered left into Tesco’s to avoid a rear-end shunt.

You’d have thought with the person suffering said medical episode that they would have been taken to the hospital as a precaution…
And is there some link with the types of cars these people are driving and ‘medical episodes’ they suffer..?

Fingerpost: Car crashes into shop as driver suffers ‘medical episode’
A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said that the driver crashed into the shop following a “medical episode”.The driver is also reported to have suffered minor injuries in the collision, but did not need to be taken to hospital.
Residents reported spotting the emergency services and an air ambulance attempting to land in nearby fields, which is believed to have been called as a precaution.
Looks like the full set: bogus medical episode excuse for motor vehicle collision now being deployed routinely, and immensely wasteful use of air and road ambulance resources for an offending driver who just went off home.

All with “locked-up” steering
I wonder why more use of ‘the driver claimed that the steering locked up’ language is not made, as it’s clearly a made-up story. I suppose that it is possible to lock the steering by removing the key while driving, but that would be at least as culpable as ‘being on the phone’, drunk/ drugged or whatever the true cause of the collision was - AuthorReplies
