Re comments on news sites on stories about traffic accidents - looking at the timeline here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-35977100 , it seems like there was a decision in February last year that basically required news sites not to have below-the-line comments or to post links to social media where there was a case that was likely to go to trial (or that actually went to trial). Which came a little late for the chap who posted unwisely here, but perhaps explains why comments are generally turned off for that kind of incident now.
