4x4 stuck on Guided Bus Way

[Crankarm]

LMAO. Some nobber has driven what I think is a white Range Rover Vogue onto the GBW about a mile from the start at St Ives near the lakes. The thing has almost turned turtle as the right wheels have fallen into the mud/gravel in the centre and it is sitting at an alarming 45 degrees waiting to be recovered. No bus can pass going from St Ives to Swavesy and then onto Cambridge. I went by just before 8pm and there were a few Hi-Viz coats walking around in the darkness, one double decker bus followed soon after by another that could not pass.

Ha-ha!

Sorry no pics.

Why is it funny, is it because it may be a car some cannot afford?

 

[TheDoctor]

I've ridden that path. If you miss the signs you really should be made to retake your test. Or just be shot. Either suits me (but leaning to the latter).

 

[fossyant]

No pics... Slacker

No. It's because it's so obviously not a road that only a complete imbecile would drive along it. And imbeciles shouldn't be driving. Or allowed out on their own. We're talking a laughable level of stupidity here...

While Crankarm videos up, here's a Mini in a tramway to keep you amused....

 

[screenman]

Nope, not getting it. Stupid yes maybe, but funny, no.

Now a cyclist with a puncture and no spare tube or pump and 15 miles from home, funny?

 

[robjh]

Not funny for the poor bus passengers who get held up, but for the car driver, the price of stupidity.

 

[TheDoctor]

A cyclist who deliberately threw their pump, spare tubes and tools into a clearly marked bottomless pit, and then rode into clearly marked barbed wire? I'd point, and laugh, till I dislocated a lung.
For avoidance of doubt, I'm 100% with Crankers here

If they've ridden onto the motorway.. perhaps..

 

[screenman]

Finally enough it has happened 20 times in the last 6 months.

The was another one yesterday apparently. Who'd have thought- motorists doing idiotic stuff?!

 

[ufkacbln]

This is always going to be an issue with such a system

Not only stupidity, but also a simple mechanical breakdown on a legitimate vehicle

 

[Crankarm]

Well for all those wondering how a driver could show such an advanced level of stupidity, they appear to have actually left the adjacent track (the opposite side to the tarmac cycle way as we know it) driven up and over the concrete edge onto the busway then stuffed it so the wheels fell in the middle = stuck, or as some have suggested, driven onto it at the start and along, having been followed shortly after by a bus, they panicked with double decker bus behind, tried to manoeuvre off the busway onto the track at the side, but in the process grounded their vehicle prostrate on the busway so it couldn't move.

LMAO.

I so wish I had some pics.
