The article said:

Parking attendants have been left dumbfounded by a Mazda MX-6 parked on top of a Volkswagen Golf at Kirkcaldy train station.

A leaflet asking the driver of the Mazda to contact Police Scotland was left under the windscreen, while a sign reading ‘Parking out of bays is an offence’ was toppled directly beside the scene.

Police have confirmed that nobody was injured and an investigation is under way.

As one of the few free remaining parking places in Kirkcaldy town centre, the railway station car park offers highly coveted space for commuters.

Saw one this morning, I guessed it was a training exercise.

On my run today I noticed a sign on the flashy board thing of the A55 "WARNING, ANIMALS ON THE CARRIAGEWAY"

What's that about? I thought as soon as a creature wondered onto the road it was mown down by NW Police like a scene from death race 2000?

I don't know why I bother paying my council tax, hopefully the police will dispatch a uniformed joy rider out ASAP to squash these errant creatures.

In that case B2R, be careful on your run......

I found this article interesting and enlightening.....

When you walk or drive in the UK, you’re being nudged by dozens of hidden messages embedded in the roads and pavements.

Drove into Manchester this morning and thank goodness I checked the oracle (Tom) before I left because once again he has saved me hours of queuing on the A55. I saw that it was closed at Flint so I had a very pleasant drive via Mold instead. Thanks again Tom!

I also noticed this morning that the BBC are doing away with their travel news page this month as part of their attempts to save money.

Just be careful Hollins as I don't work every day (as much as Trinity Mirror might want me too!). I'm on earlies this week so should have any traffic info in the mornings.

Dashcam footage has been helpful to the Police and this report may encourage others to report instances of bad driving on the roads
