And there are points, which you can claim for your story. The person with the most points wins a table for four at The Farmer’s Dog (second prize : two tables?).  

The scoring system will probably evolve, in fact suggestions for additional points can be made, but for starters:

Score one point for each of:

Clear picture of car on its roof or side

30 mph limit /residential road 

Audi, BMW or “super-car”

Article doesn’t mention a driver

Egged on by the others, the youngest of the Audis makes the first move.Young and hopeful, it moves in to strike, however youth and inexperience play against the youngling. It attempts it’s first mounting maneouvre, relying on it’s target not being able to move out of the way, but clearly has no idea how to do the deed.

Surprising- Honda drivers are usually careful, although prone to confuse the brake and accelerator in EVs and smashing down the public toilets (I actually saw this happen here).

A classic! Featuring:

It is a dangerous road, and that’s been proved year after year.

I do have some sympathy with “someone gave humans a powered vehicle that could go faster than 5mph, what do you think will happen?” But I’m gonna guess it’s not really the road…

Also “waiting for insurance company” – shades of the urban horse-transport crisis of the 19th century where horses rotted in the streets awaiting insurance confirmation that they had actually died in harness…

Seconding the little onion – I think there should be both a “fully inverted” score AND “artistic merit” also.  This one reminds me of those planes on roundabouts taking to the air near centres of production e.g. Grangemouth (beside road but good swoop) or Thornaby.

There’s definitely a point or two to be had for “how on Earth did he manage that??” in the positioning.

I cycled past a flipped car

I cycled past a flipped car last night on Cranbrook Rd, Bristol but it doesn’t seem to be reported anywhere. Quite impressive as it was fully on its roof and a whole section of the road was closed.

Meanwhile we have this one on the M32: https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/live-m4-traffic-car-overturns-9676596

Hmm, loses points for not

Hmm, loses points for not being on its roof. But gains quite a few for being a driverless car, in a 20mph, and a very artistic placement on top of a roundabout, with three wheels in the air. A very good effort.
