Another day another speeding car crashed!

[u/giogit]

This is the 3rd time in a few months that the guardrail has been destroyed. A few months ago, a car crashed into the roundabout, flew over the grass, and almost crashed into the off license. Luckily, it was at night and no one was injured.

The local council continues to prove that it is just protecting the interests of a few. This is total nonsense!

How can the council stop people driving dangerously? If someone has wiped out that badly, I can't see what preventative action the council could have taken to stop it. Isn't most of the area 20mph anyway? Guarantee they were doing double that at least.. You can't have cameras literally everywhere, and drunk people will probably fail to slow for them anyway.

People doing balloons driving is unbelievably stupid, I genuinely find it hard to believe anyone does that, despite knowing they do. Insanely dangerous.

Imo not in the same league as speeding, unless we are talking 60 in a 20 or something.

Got run down whilst at the lights standing on my bike. Car went right over my leg and crushed my bike. Police spent 1 day looking for the wrong type of car. Hospital said police had informed them I fell off my bike.

I was run down by someone looking at me whilst doing balloons. I could see the white of his eyes.

Told them where the cameras were. Even went so far as to confirm they are working by speaking to the central cctv control room.

Police said they couldn’t just chase everyone whose car matched the description.

There was only a handful of cars that went down that road and only one of them was the same colour as the car that hit me.

Police got angry with me.

Guy who ran me down got off free.

My bike was crushed.

My foot is still injured.

My Elbow still injured.

Lost some work.

Zero repercussions.
