Have You Ever Thought

[TWR]

when passing a Motorway Accident, or any Vehicle accident how the ell did that happen?

[mushroom25]

yes. quite often you'll come across a single vehicle facing the wrong way and mashed to hell, with no other vehicle in sight and no evidence of it having hit the street furniture.....

[woofgang]

no.

[Baldric]

No, if I'm not involved it's none of my business.

Years ago, exiting J19 of the M6, saw a Lada on the hard shoulder half way up the northbound slip. Perfectly parked in terms of position on the shoulder, but on its roof. Sometimes you can’t help but wonder.

I despair at the people who manage to crash into the nice barriers in 30mph zones around town, usually about 3 days after they are installed.

[Canary42]

Yes. It's only human to be curious.

Why does it have to be a motorway? Indeed, why do we have to actually see the incident?

The big Tesco site on the edge of Ipswich has a car park where it's impossible to drive at more than about 10mph, even if you want to. So I'm still baffled as to how this happened on Sunday!

Similarly, I came out of the country's biggest Sainsbury's store some time ago and saw that one car had apparently:
(a) reversed into a space which was only just wide enough for the vehicle, with no room to open the doors ;
(b) continued reversing, presumably at considerable speed, straight through a bollard ;
(c) still continued reversing across a busy footpath and the next roadway on the car park ;
(d) slammed into the vehicle beyond that ;
(e) shunting that car into the one on the opposite bay ; and
(f) pushing the whole lot so far back that it had ended up in the parking space previously taken by the car it had hit!

No usually a bonneet is bashed in ( and so the car's front went into something)
and either a side door ( the er victim ) or a bruised boot .....

I have never seen a motorcyclist rapped around a motorway light but his time will come

Have you never seen one doing Eddie the Eagle P.P. you have not seen much have you.

[cupotee2]

Everytime!!

Buenchico is that the price your paying for fuel in your areA, £1.30.9

[DaisyNonna]

We had a lovely new traffic light outside the post office
Only lasted a week

Cupotee:
The editor of our local rag seems to think every story needs a picture. He usually can't be bothered to send a photographer to take a photo, so he inevitably uses an old file picture (as he's clearly done there).

So, for example, if the newspaper decides to publish a story that snow isn't on the way (which is hardly 'news' anyway!), the editor still thinks that readers need to be shown what snow looks like ;-)

Similarly, almost every crime story features exactly the same photo of a policeman knocking on someone's door!

(That Tesco is currently charging 99.7p per litre, as are the other big supermarkets in Ipswich)
