What should Gordon Mallet do?
What should Gordon Mallet do? Writing a public confession would be a good start.
I think you get an extra
I think you get an extra point for their creating this unsustainable car fest of a development and then acting suprised when it turns out to be an unsustainable car fest.
Audi, driverless, presumably
Audi, driverless, presumably residential / 30 mph and I think you get another point for the unusual position of the Honda.

Two pigs die amid three more hit-and-runs involving livestock around New Forest animal accident black spot route the B3078 Roger Penny Way
I’ve only got the headline here, but this is no “blackspot”, it’s just the New Forest road with the most cars on it. The busier the road, the more livestock is hit.
EDIT: here’s a map – the Roger Penny Way leads north-west away from the end of the M27. The A roads are fenced, this is a B road and driver problem.
Also:
The most disappointing figure for Commoners and the Forest organisations working to reduce these accidents are the amount of hit and runs. A total of 18 drivers failed to report an incident to the police despite it being a legal requirement to do so within 24 hours.
Head Agister, Jonathan Gerrelli said: “While most people do report an accident at the time, unfortunately we had a spate this autumn where several drivers failed to do so.”

it’s a war on motorists.
Our children must be taught about their heritage.In terms of speed limits, I was wondering where safety was “critical” – and where it was not.
A new Reform “contract” is
A new Reform “contract” is out. I just thought it might be worth another visit as the Conservative Party seems to want to destroy itself. They’re using pretty much the same Leader selection process that led them to Truss 2 years ago, then Sunak. Neither Labour nor the Conservative party seems particularly good at choosing the right leader.
Anyway, the bar room discourse continues:
Stop the War on Drivers
Legislate to ban ULEZ Clean Air Zones and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. Scrapping Net Zero means no more bans on petrol and diesel cars and no legal requirements for manufacturers to sell electric cars.
We will keep the speed limit low where safety is critical. Otherwise, 20 MPH zones will be scrapped.
The above is in keeping with the Net Zero chapter, where at least there is no attempt to deny the science: we’re straight in to extracting as much carbon as we possibly can.
Education. Can’t see “ban critical race theory” any more and we seem to have adopted a position that says “well, other countries practised imperialism”. Nothing about oh I dunno mundane stuff like investment in school buildings, securing the supply of teachers, SEN, improving support for pupils who are struggling with say having had breakfast.
A Patriotic Curriculum in Primary and Secondary Schools
Any teaching about a period or example of British or European imperialism or slavery must be paired with the teaching of a non-European occurrence of the same to ensure balance. History and social science curriculum to be reviewed and audited regularly to ensure balance. Our children must be taught about their heritage.
“We don’t know final amount of damage but at the moment it’s at least £150,000-plus and it will probably be more.”Good grief – do they mean it might be £150,000-plus-plus?
At least.

I’m tempted to award you
I’m tempted to award you another point because although the driver is mentioned, the car appears to have flipped pretty much by itself “after a crash”.
whatever the wrongs and rights are in this case, you do wish drivers were held to account to this standard:
Bitterne Road West garden
Bitterne Road West garden damaged in Southampton crash
Crash on Bitterne Road West
Crash on Bitterne Road West closes road after car flips
https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/24645043.crash-bitterne-road-west-closes-road-car-flips/
score here of 3 points – not sure of the speed limit might be a 40 mph.
No arrests were made and it wasn’t dark, wet or frosty might be areas for more points, but I won’t get cocky.
