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

Not quite a flip, but….

Not quite a flip, but….

Do I  get a full house (and bonus point for the car resting on its front, ala pass the pigs)?

Clearly a residential area;  Audi (driver of) seemed to be the cause; clear picture; and I don’t think there is mention of a driver.

Another lorry tips over at

[b]Another lorry tips over at notorious roundabout[/b]

I’m not sure how many points I get. There’s a photo of the vehicle in it’s side but it’s not a car. I don’t think that it’s currently a 30mph limit (it was when they were doing work on the roundabout to drop lorries falling over…..). It does have a powerful engine, but isn’t a supercar. The article does mention the driver. Therefore I think I get minus one point.

A car flipped on the B4367

A car flipped on the B4367 between Craven Arms and Leintwardine at around 7.40pm on Thursday evening. 1 point for a photo.

Five police vehicles attended the scene, along with firefighters from Hereford & Worcester, and Shropshire. All that for one dickhead driver!

Added Sunday: another day, another flipped car in Shropshire. 3 fire crews, police and paramedics were called to a car on its roof on the B555 near Bridgnorth around 7pm on Saturday (photo below).

I’m tempted to award you

I’m tempted to award you another point because although the driver is mentioned, the car appears to have flipped pretty much by itself “after a crash”. 

whatever the wrongs and rights are in this case, you do wish drivers were held to account to this standard:

You got a full house! It’s a 30 limit, they even have speed cameras in both directions on the hill just past there. I used to try to set them off on my bike, I never managed it but you can get over 30 by the point of that crash

score here of 3 points – not sure of the speed limit might be a 40 mph.  

No arrests were made and it wasn’t dark, wet or frosty might be areas for more points, but I won’t get cocky.
