Unplanned things that happen to expensive cars

No Oliver, flamin' 'eck is what you were meant to say.

Use of puns is getting to be such a heated topic on here.

Unplanned things that happen to electric cars.

That old engine fire thing again:

Needless to say, these are eminently practical cars to be running in Central London.

My sympathies

That guy sounds like Micky Flanagan doing an impression of Tim Westwood.

A steady stream of stories of this kind:

No insurance ought to result in a custodial.

What if the driver had killed someone?

Selfish fucker.

No picture, but I saw a shiny new Jag stranded in the middle of the street this morning. Couldn't see what was up until I got to the other side of it...there was a big, scraped dent down the lower RHS and the right rear wheel had been almost completely knocked off. The driver had tried to cut a kerb free corner, and encountered one of those large bell shaped bollards. Did LOL.

There's one of those bell bollard things on the corner by my old office on Bunhill Row, the number of vans and lorries that scraped themselves on it was incredible, and we'd had a milk float tip over and crash into a bunch of scooters and motorbikes after hitting it and a lorry puncture its diesel tanks and piss diesel 50m down the road after hitting it.

Well. Bell bollards are installed to protect people walking along the footway and buildings. What you describe was the result of bad driving that if left unchecked by such a bollard would result in bad injuries or possibly even collisions with corner buildings more often. For instance, there's absolutely no reason for a milk float driver to take such a corner so tightly as for the float to tip over. Obviously, it's not a good state of affairs that they should be necessary, but unfortunately people do tend to overrun the footway on corners like this.

Yeah, if it wasn't there a lot of vans and lorries would've completely mounted the kerb when turning the corner. Weirdly, there's no building right on the corner, I guess it's mainly for pedestrian protection. Oh and the milk float hit it head on and flipped, rather than hitting it whilst turning the corner. :)

That's just dairyble driving, then.

You just can't resist these cheesy puns can you?

Everyone's going to be churning them out soon.

Whey too many to choose from so I won't bother.

An udder example of street furniture design aiding long life.

Yoghurt to laugh.

Oh, dairy me...

I imagine the owner of this über expensive & powerful mercedes-benz didn't plan on getting it tricked out in FLOCK with gold trim only for it to sit in traffic jams on the South Circular. Looked a bit sheepish as I stopped on my fully loaded tourer (I was off camping) to snap them. Dicks.
