So pedestrians kill more cyclists in Paris than SUVs do? That’s… unbelievable!I have more squirrels nearly crash into me every day than pedestrians or SUVs, but I know which is more likely to kill me.

Have you taught them the two most important signals for expressing your dissatisfaction with someone’s driving?

That’s what I recall. It comes with instructions which are pretty good. You need to get it stuck on all around (adhesive is only around the perimeter) or some of the liquid might drip out. I think I managed to keep them on for about five days.
They don’t recommend putting antibiotic cream under, as any grease that gets to where the sticky will be will stop it from adhering properly.

I don’t know if you can get them in the UK, but 3M Tegaderm come in very large sizes and work great. You just clean the wound well, carefully apply one, and leave it on for a week or so. Much less pain and scarring.

My wife’s electric car, a first generation Leaf, would qualify. And of course my MINI easily would.
Even my previous car, a 2006 Forester, would be okay.

“The lorry became stuck in Fowey around 12:40pm and has baffled onlookers ever since.”
Who would be baffled? The lorry is too wide, and it’s stuck. It’s obvious that it didn’t teleport there or fall from the sky.
