    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

    Perth BMW driver who flipped

    [b]Perth BMW driver who flipped car on M90 ‘could have endangered many lives'[/b]

    Benjamin Atkins repeatedly braked and accelerated towards a car in front as he drove down the M90, near Glenfarg.

     

    When the other car moved aside to let him pass, the 26-year-old again slammed on the brakes forcing the motorist to take action to avoid a crash.

    Atkins then lost control of his car and ploughed into a central reservation, before flipping over and landing on his roof.

    Originally charged with dangerous driving, Atkins, of Jura Street, Perth, appeared at the city’s sheriff court and admitted an amended charge of careless driving on the M90, near junction eight.

    I think I lose half a point

    I think I lose half a point as it isn’t shown fully flipped, it’s only on its side. That would mean 0.75 of a point for the Festival Way one in terms of where that one has come to rest.

    Excellent!  Everyone is baffled and can only state what they see (apart from the police, who reported a RTC).

    Full marks here! It’s an absolute mystery why this driverless vehicle has ended up on its roof on a wide, straight, 30mph road.

    [b]Car flips onto roof in crash with 3 parked vehicles near London Road, Sheffield[/b]

    Another car flips after colliding with parked cars. Something has to be done about this parked car menace!

    Edinburgh car flips on busy road by school as emergency services race to scene

    Emergency services in Edinburgh raced to the scene of an incident on Monday afternoon, with a car flipped onto its roof on Saughton Road just metres from a school.

    On Saughton Road.  30mph limit, daylight, only mention of drivers was out of concern for their wellbeing at the end.

    Because putting “busy roads” and schools adjacent goes together like a high-horsepower carriage.

    I think you get an extra point for their creating this unsustainable car fest of a development and then acting suprised when it turns out to be an unsustainable car fest.

    Festival Way flipped car

    [b]Festival Way flipped car sparking calls for improvements[/b]

    Car on side, I’m guessing a 30mph limit, no mention of the driver. I make that three points. Do I get an extra point for the article blaming the parked car for the crash?

    Couple of days back this, how does it score?

    From Kirkcauldy.

    Just outside 20mph zone,  daylight, reckless van attacked another vehicle, “professional driver” (but only mentioned to reassure everyone that luckily this rascal van didn’t seriously hurt him).  Not a “fast car” though.

    Audi, driverless, presumably

    Audi, driverless, presumably residential / 30 mph and I think you get another point for the unusual position of the Honda.
