I guess it’s my turn to feed the troll. Come on, then.
An enabler – yes. Cars just mean we just look out for ourselves, rather than for each other.

He plays the victim – after all, he’s only trying his best for the well-known hard done by group, drivers.

I was knocked off in 2007 by a driver who didn’t stop at a mini roundabout. Claims are a blood sport – a tussle over a few £100 either way. Get a lawyer – I think Slater & Gordon are the cycling go-to – I used a no-win no fee firm I got via my house insurance legal help service (charging for which is a massive scam by insurance companies btw).
I got £2000 and a course of physio for a wrecked bike and a badly sprained ankle – I think it went on a few months. What struck me is that there’s a whole industry out there of claims people, lawyers, private doctors that you don’t normally see.
thank goodness for the other driver who saw what happened, came forward and put to bed the pack of lies (no penalty for this, btw) told by the driver to the police and her own insurance.

More motorised mess for the emergency services to clear up. Addenbrooks had a triage tent running around this time and we all know how stretched the ambulance services are.

This incident seems to be making big news in the Echo – I mean relative to the daily litany of death and injury due to road violence. Am I missing something here?
Drug driver banned after
Drug driver banned after crashing lorry into tree
“He told the court that Wilton admitted to smoking cannabis in the evening to help him sleep at night as he suffered with arthritis and shoulder pain following an injury.
Mr Reynolds said that he felt entirely capable of driving and had merely carried out instructions provided to him.
He said: “He felt perfectly fit that day to drive and was simply following the instructions of his employer.”
The court heard that Wilton was immediately fired following the incident but has gained employed since at a different scaffolding company who Mr Reynolds said was fully aware of situation.”

Car ‘obstructing’ pavement in Fordingbridge had expired MOT
how bad does it have to get before anything is done?
Why do we have to cite vulnerable groups to appeal to any ounce of compassion or shame drivers like this might have?
I wonder what the fine was for?
