Another story from the Sheffield outlet below that one was quite special: four pint drink driver claims he drove into the hedge outside his house because he was trying to avoid a badger. A six foot tall pink one, one imagines…
“His licence is his livelihood. He had three or four pints. He felt safe to drive.”

Did you read the comments???? Nasty low life scum trying to be all hard. Now, if I had the day off, I could have great fun trolling them…. not that I suggest we do.
The reference to the Governor of Florida by one of them took me here:
Commenters have to take things to extremes of course so make whatever warped point this is, but rather than looking hard, it’s all a reminder of what 999-calling babies drivers are the moment the tables are turned.
Gah! It’s always that bit

Cyclist, 26, dies in crash with Range Rover in Ringwood
https://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/25240051.cyclist-26-dies-crash-range-rover-ringwood/
The New Forest is cleaved in two by the A31 with traffic including walkers and cyclists funnelled into just a few crossings. This continues all the way eastwards, with a few underpasses and one other road crossing.
https://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/25240051.cyclist-26-dies-crash-range-rover-ringwood/
Eastfield Road runs north-south on both sides of the A31, on the northern side Southampton Road forks in two to join the A31 in either direction – you’re mixing it with drivers who think they’re still on an exclusive slip road.
The least worst crossing is the pedestrian bridge to the west, next along is a dual carriageway flyover roundabout combo, next along is some very windey narrow footpaths under the dual carriageway.

flash flooding in Dover hasn’t stopped the traffic wardens wading through.Flooding, especially the domestic kind is no joke, but really Dover, first you vote for Brexit and now climate change denying Reform.
My sympathies are with the drivers/parkers for that one. Flooding is an exceptional event, so the wardens should have been cutting them a bit of slack really.
But reading the article, the bit he was parked in wasn’t flooded. It was
… a safer place, away from the heavily flooded section of East Street, on double-yellow lines outside his home.Having had very little sleep after going to bed at 4am, he awoke to find a Dover District Council parking warden had slapped him with a £70 fine.
So he was – IMO – quite correctly fined for parking on a (not flooded) area of road with double-yellow lines.
My normal (legal) parking spot was unavailable [insert reason if it will add pathos] so I parked here instead – that’s all right isn’t it?
Think you have the wrong thread here !Perhaps this is more of a case for Drivers and their Problems. Gonna take a moment to say it again, though, just in case anyone hasn’t worked it out yet: all the oft-repeated stuff “cyclists should be made to wear a helmet”/ have a bell / wear hi viz / ride on the cycle path” etc will become real threats if Reform make progress nationally.
Such cycling infrastructure that is built will stop being, they are pledged to remove most 20 mphs and doubtless any other traffic calming or bus priority that is unpopular with (hard-working, etc) drivers. Police will be encouraged to concentrate on catching “real” criminals and do much less enforcement against innocent motorists who have already been persecuted enough. The list of reasons for drivers to be let off parking fines will no longer be satire.

I guess it’s one to add to the list of why drivers should not be fined:
It’s Remembrance Day
A funeral/ wedding / other church service/ Sunday
The signs were confusing
I don’t think you had to pay on a bank holiday
Football match
It was only for a minute / I just need to nip in here
whatever variation of medical episode
No-one minds/ it wasn’t in anyone’s way
where am I supposed to leave it?
I’ve always parked here
why don’t you fuck off and mind your own business
