Another New Forest pony death
Another New Forest pony death. There is now some talk of average speed cameras for the principal roads crossing the Forest. According to drivers, these things are an amazing cash cow for the police, so you’d think they’d have jumped at it years ago.
No doubt we’ll be told how difficult and distracting it is to drive to a 40 mph limit (arbitrary, of course, probably put there by an unelected bureaucrat), especially with all those hazards about.
Two guesses for the make of the car involved. The poor stricken animal is pictured in the article. I think we may have passed it the following day.
An awful lot of these incidents seem to be hit and run, which I find really weird because what are you going to do with a car that now looks like this? Are you going to take it to the scrapyard that features in every 1970s cop series ever made?

here’s a a sad story – but for once, a driver (unlicenced, uninsured) showing some remorse after coming off the road and hitting a tree.

Car crash outside Marks and Spencer in Ferndown
One witness told the Daily Echo: “The impact caused a lot of damage to the car. The police and ambulance got there really quickly. They added: “If the bollards hadn’t been there, I think the car would have gone straight through the shop entrance.”

Many of these incidents are slightly comical in that someone did something stupid but fortunately no-one was seriously hurt.Like everything on You’ve Been Framed – they never show you the ambulance ariving…
that’s because it doesn’t, leastways not any time soon. A lot of ambulance trusts on business continuity incident status at the moment -e.g. Wales, SWAST, SECAMB, EEAST

“The car smashed everything, the front drivers side hit my thigh and pushed me up against the wall. I ended up on the floor about six feet from where I was stood, and I just remember glass flying all around me and shredding my legs.”
A follow-up here to an earlier story. A reminder, even where there’s no serious injury, of the lasting effects on people this kind of thing has.
The shop is on a small stretch of historic road, which has been diverted away to make a roundabout: hard to see how this can have happened. if you want to pay a Google Street visit, it’s 928 Ringwood Rd, Bournemouth, BH11 8NL
