A new catch-all Tea Shop thread for those miscellaneous new stories that don’t quite fit with parking, crashing into buildings or trapped/prisoners in their homes.

Weird situation there. Both

Weird situation there. Both the adults came out from the passenger side of the vehicle but it looked like the car had cut up the van and then the van had crumped the rear drivers side door.  So had he pulled up to give a peace of his mind and caused an accident, the woman then got out in a stress because of the initial actions of the driver had caused the collision, which he then compounded by deciding to commit assault.

Wait. What? Nooo. What?

Gandalf was a vigilante? Ohhhhh – you are changing my perspective of LoTR…. I may have to reread and give Gandalf a gravelly Batman voice…

Spotted this on my way home tonight.

Doesn’t kicking someone while they are curled up on the ground count as an assault of some kind…?

check out Twitter: 

Hard pass! I am exceedingly happy that they have locked the comments to people that don’t sign in/up. I am weak willed and was often depressing myself by looking at Twitter comments.

Happy to take your word for it.

And I see another food

And I see another food delivery rider has been convicted of running a red light and giving a ped a broken foot, so we’ll be hearing about that for the next 3 years.

hurt a driver? As in drag them out of their metal box designed to protect them from high impact collisions and beat them?

It really is a thing – check out Twitter: 

1. “that’s not close”

 2. “it was all the cyclist’s fault [somehow/because reasons]”

3. “aren’t they supposed to give us a 1 meter in traffic?”

TRAPPED I TELL YOU !

Then you read that they use a pedestrian crossing to go over the pavement to the house, failed to ask permission for anything and thought driving over a ped crossing was normal.

World Bollards – “Your house has just quadrupled in value, stop moaning.”

I read about that in a local news site (owned by the same people as the Mirror).  That article concluded with the householders saying that they have had to park their car several streets away and haven’t moved it since March

I’ve got a solution: there’s

I’ve got a solution: there’s no reason why the junction with the adjacent Dinsdale Close needs quite such a wide corner radius. Build out the footway and they will gain an extra 5m of space where they can position the pedestrian crossing, and will also improve conditions for pedestrians in the area (e.g. walking to the station or convenience store).

Funny that the headline isn’t

Funny that the headline isn’t “driver pictured driving dangerously close to cyclist”.
