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

So strange that a garden wall being destroyed would make an innocent passing car flip like that!

Pet peeve – headlines using ‘as’. Just sounds to me like they’re coincidental events. “Hurricane in London as butterfly flaps its wings in Peru.”

Do you get an extra point for it being out of bounds?

The circumstances leading to this unusual vehicular pile-up haven’t been disclosed, but it appears no injuries have been reported. Two occupants were in one of the cars during the incident, managing to exit unharmed.

…

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed: “We were called to Sainsbury’s, Falmouth, car park at around 1.30pm on Saturday 31 May following a report of a three vehicle collision”, reports Cornwall Live.

“Only one vehicle had occupants but both got out of the car uninjured. All vehicles were recovered and insurance details swapped.”

That picture would be a lot funnier if they’d also blurred out part of the cars’ undercarriages

So the police are saying that the car collided with itself?  Whatever next?

Ah – a self-interaction. That’s what’s known as a quantum (spin) flip.

You have to go to the

You have to go to the comments for that: 

“Maybe consider your ignorant and stupid comments before making them. This was my wife, she was not speeding showing off or claiming the whole road. She was forced to swerve into a stationary car by the actions of a careless driver which resulted in her flipping our car. She has just come out of surgery for life changing injuries to a very serious hand injury. Maybe think before you type”

Let’s hope.  It’s a good reminder that behind all these news articles are ordinary lives affected by road violence.
