It said turn left for the station.

"This driver will have caused way more disruption to way more people than a JSO protest will ever have done. Maybe the driver needs jailing for 6 months or more for this. Oh and ban them for life. Clearly too stupid to drive." Real Gaz - twitter

Stupid woke trains, ruining a perfectly good straight bit of road by shoving rails on it. Come on, let's just share the space and let hard working, law abiding car drivers travel along there.

I think the premium ones have a gold-ish 'Plus' marker beside them.

There's a follow-up article after this morning's crash - "A driver has escaped with just minor injuries after he was trapped in his van under a lorry".

The A41 is notorious for collisions. Some fools like to blame the road but every time it's the f@*king idiot behind the steering wheel that is at fault. At around 8.40 on Tuesday a collision resulted in 2-mile tailbacks just north of Tern Hill. On 29 november a man died in a head-on collision on the same section and on 11 November 5 people were taken to hospital following a "significant" head-on crash near Hinstock at 10am. [article]

At 17:35 on 9 August 35 year old Paul Syrda was over 3 times the drink-drive limit when he crashed a Land Rover Discovery over a roundabout then careered half a kilometre down a Newport road.

Dashcam footage showed him driving over the central island of the roundabout just outside Newport before turning onto Forton Road, continuing about 600m into the town, swerving from side to side then crashed into some decorative boulders on the side of the road and rolled the car onto its side into a resident's front garden.

Michael Bolton of The Wheatlands, Bridgnorth was nearly double the drink drive limit when he overtook police at 85mph in his Ford Ranger. It's the second time he has been caught driving while pissed.

Utter c**ts both of them. Both cars should be sold and the money spent on speed enforcement.

The A41 between Newport and Whitchurch should have a 40mph limit with both fixed & mobile speed cameras. Dashcams in every vehicle.

Meanwhile 57 year old business owner and father of three Stephen Gingell was sentenced to 6 months in prison for peacefully marching for no more than 30 minutes with 40 other Just Stop Oil supporters. [JSO on twitter]

I thought that was the Daily Mail...

That's not so say some of it wouldn't benefit... 

I was looking at that main street and thinking "that needs another couple of lanes, to reduce congestion.  And multi-storey car parking as it looks like parking might be an issue.  In fact, a flyover or two would really make it a nicer place as you could get about more quickly..."

He drove over the island? Blimey, that must have taken some effort as its not one of those "paint only" island: it has bloody huge tress and the like on it.

What a twat.

wondering about a "car flips"/ lands on roof thread. A bit like CCIB, I just don't remember this ever being a thing, now it's every week.  There would be bonus likes for incidents that happened on a Restricted Road (since we all now know what one of those is).

I see your cars flipped over and raise you a car transporter on its side. Maybe it was the cars that it was carrying that caused it to fall over?

How the hell did the driver manage that?

And: how the hell can the Hampshire Chronicle do two days of live blog coverage on the incident without once mentioning the driver??
