    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.

    “It is reported that the vehicle was also in collision with a pedestrian, but they did not require medical treatment.” ‘

    Managed to average 52 mph over the past 6 days straight on my fave segment but a measley 47 today.  My coach says I’m over-training.

    Why does the article say the car appeared to mount the pavement ? What do they think the car is doing, floating? Clearly it was also driving itself as the mention of a driver is completely absent again.

    Dramatic scenes as car crashes into a building in Bradford. Despite the article mentioning two ‘occupants’ of the car running away from the scene, there is no mention of any role of any driver in this incident.
