well the result of it anyway, police and ambulance were there attending to the trashed car.

It had run the red light and the tram took the back of it out so the driver was ok from what I could see.

It's just indicative of cars today driving round like they own the roads running reds or accelerating into the amber.
I've seen cars mount the pavement, drive at night without lights, reverse the wrong way up the one way streets, they never indicate their intentions. because they are too busy on their mobile phones
I've even seen them run people down... it's a disgrace

Something needs to be done about this menace on our roads

    They're a highly dangerous bunch of radicals, motorists. Using that form of transport, in cities, in this day and age. Madness!

    Many of them don't have insurance or pay the VED. None of them pay any road tax.

    If you have an accident with one, it's highly likely they'll get off lightly.

    They drive very dark cars at dusk, with no hi-vis on them. I've never seen any of them wearing helmets.

    I think it's time the roads were reclaimed for us!

    I saw (from a motorway bridge) people driving more than two abreast the other day.

    Not really the right thread but anyway. I was riding with my mates on Saturday in Richmond Park when two of them dropped off the back of our little foursome. We ended up waiting several minutes for them and when they turned up, they revealed that a driver had fallen asleep at the wheel, crossed over to the other side of the road and a girl riding towards him had had to throw herself onto the grass verge to avoid being squashed! Terrifying.

    Bloody hell, that's really scary! Asleep at the wheel on a motorway, or on a long straight road in America or Australia, not excusable but I suppose understandable, but in Richmond? It's not like you don't have anything to do whilst driving around there!

    :shock:
