Kind of glad I wimped out of cycling in today. I got up, looked out of the window and saw really, really heavy rain. I just wasnt in the mood for it.
Secondly, as I peered out I saw a van shoot past at some considerable speed. Now this was before 6am still, it was quiet, however it was p***ing down and a van going over 60 will not stop on a hare. (Or whatever the old saying is)
Then I took a bus home from work and saw 4 cars. All of them totalled.One was a taxi smashed to bits just after the petrol station in the city center after the Northam Bridge here in southampton. The whole roof had been flattened.
It really did make me feel sick seeing that. I think theres been a serious drop in driving standards here in recent weeks and part of me really wasnt suprised, though I hope the occupants of each car were fine.
Stay safe, stay lucky peoples!
Edit: Papers reported it, though missed out the other cars:
