Special Award of the Week
SteveH:
The topic to enter outstanding acts of courage, bravery, generosity or stupidity.
North Wales Police were helping the Welsh Ambulance service on the B5115 in Penrhynside, near the Little Orme, on Monday when a driver moved the signs and then proceeded to drive around a police vehicle blocking the road.
If a roads closed, it’s for a very good reason.
"Not only did they move the cones/signs, when they were approached by officers they decided to challenge the reason the road was closed. ref Pioneer
PS My OH tells me he was flagged down by pedestrians, warning him, and somebody had to replace the sign and cones that he failed to reposition .
SteveH:

I see this car a lot, and it does on a daily basis leave room for mopeds, I may have been to quick to judge. :-[

I read this story last week, and thought about posting it, but reading today about the trouble it has caused, definitely worth a mention........ This stupid driver despite plenty of warning signs, struck the bridge and jammed underneath, taking four days and specialist equipment to clear, now we here about this type of thing a lot, however it was the last sentence of the article, that made me curios, ....."A spokesman for Network Rail said: "Bridge strikes cost the taxpayer millions of pounds every year ."
Many years ago a friend hit a lamp post, and got the bill from the council, checking today it would appear to still be the case, this was not accidental, but negligent, and an extremely costly operation, but who pays ?
