Not all bad news then! At least there's 1 fewer of those dangerous nutter self-driving vehicles 'on the road'.

Statistics revealed by KentOnline in 2022 showed how 79 vehicles were sprung by the posts in the first 18 months of the scheme.

Demonstrating that at least 79 people think that road signs are for other people...

Anyone know the movie reference? 

The Good Place, a TV show. I think. A forking good sitcom.

Taunton Asda shopper furious after vandal scrawls 'disgusting' insult on her car

I like the way they say, 'Warning - the image further down this story contains offensive language,' when it's the same image as at the top of the article.  I was looking forward to seeing some much worse language, given that there was no warning about the original image.

Not far away on the A518 in Telford, 2 speed cameras at Trench Lock Interchange in Telford have captured nearly 12,000 speeding shitheads during 2023.

I'll be using Trench Lock in a couple of hours on the way to my MIL..... not my idea. I won't be speeding (I got my first and so far only speeding ticket a mile from their in Hadley, just after they had changed the road by the old football ground...GKN Sankey FC... from a 40 to a 30. It taught me a lession!)

The point of this post is to comment: "Only 12 000....?" People use it like a race track in order to get into the A442 towards the town cente. Time to double the number of camera and increase the fines!

A man has been charged after police stopped a suspect riding an e-scooter on the M5

Police and courts essentially impotent in such cases and known to be so. He's not going to be bothered by the points on the licence he may not have, or any unenforced driving ban, and he'll soon get over the loss of the scooter by getting another one. The only penalty that would work is the big fine which isn't going to be imposed. Little wonder that all varieties of motoring offences appear to be increasing. Crisis. What crisis?

It is an Abbot 105mm self propelled gun. That means it is an artillery piece not a tank. AFV433 to give it it's full title.

Great to see the police and courts getting a firm grip on these offenders

Agreed! hanging is too good for these people bringing carnage to the roads! Meanwhile, respectable motor vehicle drivers are unfairly preyed-upon by unscrupulous sneaks for only doing what everyone does- fortunately, our brave lads know exactly what to do with reports obtained by such underhand means as walking about with a camera: Bin them! Bin them! Bin them!

For some reason, the video of Hartley Transport and Training of Lancaster HGV D16 GHT crossing a red light hasn't yet appeared on UpRide, so this is the scene when the light changed to amber- you know that bit about "AMBER means ‘Stop’ at the stop line. You may go on only if the AMBER appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident"

You need to get down to Kings Heath
