Audi ends up in water-filled ditch as BMW driver ‘fails to stop’ after incident in Burgh Le Marsh
The blue Audi Quattro left the A158 at Burgh Le Marsh, near to Poppies restaurant, and came to rest in a water-filled ditch on Wednesday, September 20.
Police believe a white BMW may also be involved, but did not stop at the scene. Officers are now appealing for the BMW driver to get in touch.

Parking ‘chaos’ at Wingham
Parking ‘chaos’ at Wingham Primary School as parents use neighbouring village hall
“This is private property, that’s the real point here. I would issue parking tickets and hire a parking company.”
However, one mother says she can’t see what the problem is and it’s the only safe choice.
“It’s a 30 minute window we need to use this car park. We aren’t there all day and I really don’t see the issue,” she says.
“We come in and we come out with no problems 99% of the time. Yes, it causes traffic but for a tiny proportion of the day.
She finished: “You cannot stop us from coming into this car park and until a safer alternative is in place parents and myself will continue using it.” (Let me know, Wingham village hall, if you need any beer held.)

Agreed re lengthy ban, etc
In this instance there appears to have been no charges even brought.
EDIT – no charges = no conviction = (?) no basis for the ban.
Some legal offences just don
Some legal offences just don’t offend. In a massively overloaded world, the police find it easier to accept the driver “he’s not dead* is he what’s the problem?” / everything driving is trivial / isn’t real crime line.
* oh he is – well, I don’t remember anything / he deserved to die for not wearing hi-viz

I had also posted on the Whingeing Entitled Dickhead Drivers topic as I was in Bangor at the weekend. The difference was striking, particulatly when walking and cycling. [smiley]TBH the roads in and around the city are so full of traffic, plus a sprinkling of traffic lights, ped crossings and one way streets that you really couldn’t drive far at 30 mph+ during the day.
The moany comments online are all from people who aren’t thinking about anyone else’s safety, only their own convenience.
Drivers, then.
It’s about personal power – it has little to do with effective transportation.Some stats and infographics posted by 20’s Plenty Wales on twitter, including that 298,519 households and 48% of lone parents households in Wales have no car.In the end all it asks is for those capable of great harm to simply drive a little slower. Is that really so difficult?

I’m giving a few mentions on Drivers and their Problems – some of the more outlandish “my world is collapsing” claims by drivers that get in the media.
Schrodingers’s traffic regulation – simultaneously too simple and too complex for drivers to comply with.
