Just think if the Godalming Gazette did this, Just what would your neighbours think

 

[cupid_stunt]

The details are a matter of public record anyway, not entirely sure why anyone would bother reading about it in a local rag though.

Our local rag has always published a round-up of all convictions in the local court, I always scan the list, looking to see if anyone I know is on it.

My neighbours know what I’m like already, except for a woman who moved next door at Christmas, but she’s a fruitloop anyway; who moves house on 23rd December? The kind of person who keeps a rabbit in a hutch on a hill, that’s who!

It’s probably a mountain rabbit.
keeping it on level ground would be a cruelty

Thats impressive. That would have been 30 limit, possibly a 20. 4 cars written off at least.
Is that in the North West, Liverpool perhaps?

The moment a car smashes into several parked vehicles in Preston

This is the moment a fast moving car clipped several stationary vehicles on a narrow Preston street before smashing into another and destroying it.

It doesn't look like she's got much of an option in that garden, tbf.

It’s flat at the bottom of the garden. She moved it around the hill every couple of days. Maybe her lawnmower is broken?

^^ hope that was full of pillows or toilet rolls. Ouch.

Tesla on autopilot or pillock looking at their phone?

What a dick.

Could be eitther, but given the track record of Teslas on autonomous drive, I wouldn't be surprised if it was that. From the car's POV the lorry would have looked like a big white box so the Tesla computer probably thought it was the horizon, or empty pixels

 

[Dogsauce]

Wonder if you could develop some kind of paint/surface treatment that would confuse Tesla autopilot systems, kind of like a stealth fighter is with radar? Just to be a dick.

Two have been arrested for that.

Two men arrested after video showed car going more than 200mph in West Sussex

Police traced the black Audi RS6 in the footage and have arrested two 38-year-old men.

Speeding convictions have increased massively during lockdown

No doubt in part due to less people on the streets to police but also cunts on empty roads.

There is speeding, IE a few MPH over the limit or there is SPEEDING, IE going mental and treating the roads like Brands Hatch.
potentially a great advert for Audi, depending on which side of the fence you are on.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

200mph is fucking insane, the slightest thing goes wrong and that's a wreck no one walks away from. I would imagine there will be jail time for the driver. Still, does show what an awesome car the RS6 is though...

 

[T & P]

I thought all the premium German brands had a gentlemen's agreement to limit the top speed of their vehicles to 155mph? I guess it's not difficult for a mechanic to de-limit it?

Dunno... annoying noise in the cabin once the car reaches the 170 mph mark. Shoddy engineering if you ask me.

Mine is limited to 155, if you get the RS6 Vorsprung version that ups the limit to 178, so guess here someone had de-restricted it.

De-Restricting is easy. It's a simple flash job. I've done it for a few boy racers people who were taking their cars on track.

 

[dervish]

So they arrested two people? So presumably there was someone else in the car, so no only was he going utterly stupid speeds he was also unnecessarily using his phone at the wheel.

Weapons grade stupidity.

 

[planetgeli]

Perhaps not driving standards, couldn't decide on a thread, so we'll pretend it's definitely the bloke's fault who drove into the back of this 20 minute old Lamborghini that broke down in the outside lane.

a strange sense of Deja vu. Perfect timing.
