He pulled out of a driveway into the path of an oncoming car driving along the A149, he should be done for careless driving, but somehow I doubt he will.

Prince Philip unhurt after car crash - palace

I've gone back to the pictures...Phil's, presumably heavily armoured car, got rolled (not just knocked over) by a car that was much smaller than his car.
It must have been a hellva impact or Phil's car was not very stable :confused:
 
Prince Philip has received a "ticking-off" by Norfolk Police after he was photographed not wearing his seatbelt two days after a crash near Sandringham, the Mail on Sunday reports. A Norfolk Police spokesman said "suitable words of advice have been given to the driver".

What a twat. :facepalm:
 
Keep is clean, especially in this mucky weather. :D:facepalm:

Police apologise for dirty number plate
 
Had a class incident on Sunday with a Range Rover driver. Other than him being in a rush, I don't believe anything had happened beforehand, in fact I don't recall seeing him in my rear view mirror until the island. So he tries to overtake me in the outside (nearest lane to the physical island) whilst also taking the turn I was, he runs out of road, because, lanes. Continues to drive up my arse to the next island, tries to do the same trick again but this time the physical island gets in his way as I'm also taking third exit. By which point I'm gestering to him to get in the right lane. Next set of lights, he pulls up beside me, starts calling me a c**t and to get out my car and he'll gave me. Amused, I blow him a kiss (I've learnt to keep my gob shut so my dash cam doesn't record my own coarse language, should I decide to submit footage to police and this gesture is excellent at winding them up further) and tell him to again learn how island lanes work. Once lights go green, he proceeds to go straight on, whilst again, being in the lane that was for turning right.

Utter twonk, It's a shame I don't have rear dash cam to get all his pricking about, the front dash coverage upon reviewing is nowhere near as exciting as I hoped it would be.
 
Goes without saying that driving on drugs a cunt's trick. Having said that, the first few pararagraphs of this story have made me laugh no end.

A driver who swerved "to avoid an octopus" before crashing has been arrested on suspicion of drug-driving.

Police were called to the A381 between Malborough and South Milton in Devon, where they found a vehicle upside-down in a ditch on Tuesday evening.

The 49-year-old driver was checked over by paramedics before being arrested.

Officers, who tweeted about the incident, said they found no evidence of an octopus on the road.

Crash driver 'swerved to avoid octopus'
 
Thing is, octopi are bloody clever, and can go on land. It's hiding and lying in wait for it's next victim.
 
It beggars belief it really does.

"Judge Townsend told Nodder there were two things keeping him out of prison. One was his lack of a serious previous conviction."

And yet Nodder had a previous conviction and a road ban for driving without due care and attention in 2014.

Conclusion: driving a car without due care and attention isn't serious. FFS. :mad:

Yeah, I mean if I had a run in with someone then chased after him with a hammer and attacked him, I'd expect to go to prison. Why should it be different for using a car as a weapon?

Well in this case it seems because he has a learning disability. I have thought you'd disapprove of nicking people with disabilities
 
We have read and complained about people who kill others whilst driving and getting off lightly ie suspended sentence, just a year or so inside.
Giving this woman 3+ years for breaking someones back should help put things in perspective (yes, I know she has done other things, but so had many of the others).

Break someone's back alone via GBH and you'll get more than that.
