Drink driver sentenced at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court
Prosecutor Bethany Adams told the court that on August 20 at 10.45pm police received a report of a blue Seat crashing into bollards on Century Close in Devizes.
When officers attended the scene they found the defendant, who was slurring his words, in the driver’s seat of the vehicle which had been damaged during the incident along with the bollards and pavement.
Sherman was disqualified from driving for 20 months and fined £120. He was also ordered to pay a surcharge of £34 and court costs of £85.

I think we’ve all had our moments with parking machines, be it that it’s unfamiliar, we’re in a mood or it is actually malfunctioning/ instructions are unclear.
But I think there’s a distinction between being a bit inconvenienced, and those oh so competent drivers who claim to be be completely unable to get to grips with Ringo and the like.

Angry tourist vows to never visit Bath again due to ‘terrible’ roads
It will be a cold day in hell before I visit again
He believes navigating around Bath’s “labyrinth” of “hideously confusing roads” is “impossible” for a non-local. Mr Porter also slammed current roadworks…and added that “if the council do not want cars in the city, then they should pave the lot and send a solid message”. Bath and North East Somerset Council declined to comment.

Man sets himself up as a mini rentmydrive.com in new twist on old chestnut.
24h visitor parking there is £12.80, my guess is that staff parking is a lot less and it sounds like there aren’t enough spaces to go around anyway.

So the govt is going to keep the bills down for us this winter, and I guess we’re just hoping something will eventually turn up Ukraine-wise. I don’t fully understand all this, a massive addition to the national debt with a none too strong economy. none of it actually makes any more gas available to our little corner of the globe, does it? Nor does it electricity. The warm spaces sounded pretty risky to me on the Covid front and I hope it manages to leave us alone this winter.
Cycling wise, I’m glad a wave of poverty has been headed-off – like the fuel disruptions of last year, this would have just meant more cars dropping out of insurance and MoTs and more desperate scratting around by drivers, with the car the economic Alamo in many homes.

Beginning to think we need a new thread for “car overturns…” stories – a bit like the original CCIB theme, you just start noticing story after story where you didn’t before.
Plea for road safety measures
Plea for road safety measures after car crashes into home
perhaps the driver should give up their home in situations like this where they have rendered someone else homeless?
“The family had to leave their bungalow immediately due to the structural damage and have only just moved back in after five months of living out of suitcases, and fear for their safety.”
