Do people on the IoW take a driving test before hitting the road? It seems there’s at least two crashes every day at the moment
Yup, they get taken on the mainland mostly.
A lot of the accidents are twats from the mainland that think is good to go fast…..
I wonder if that is the black merc that goes up north road at well over 40 mph with a noise exhaust if so I not surprised

The idiots will always disagree with you, they have no idea what a speed limit means…..and that comes with a nasty attitude..
