Yet again ANOTHER crash on the lawless Island Roads.
20mph is plenty
speed has nothing to do with it. The cars gone on the wrong side of the road, what’s the betting it’s a tourist who doesn’t know how to drive rural lol
Have you thought this through, anon? I see hundreds of cars and vans on the wrong side of the road every month and they cant all be visitors. And being on the wrong side is nearly always to do with speed…because the vehicle in front is not going fast enough to suit the overtaker. Yesterday an asshole in a van nearly caused a serious crash by overtaking me on the Middle road ‘cos I was only doing the speed limit.
THERE IS ZERO TRAFFIC LAW ON THE ISLAND
HENCE SO MANY ACCIDENTS ON A DAILY BASIS
SO MANY VEHICLES DRIVING ILLEGALLY WITH NO MOT
DEVOLUTION WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Of course it does, get a brain f.f.s
Boring boring boring
Truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth
ISLANDERS DON’T LIKE TO HEAR THE TRUTH
Sad
Prick!! Are you Sadiq in disguise as you very much sound like it.
Just call me Sir
More utter shit driving..
The driving over here has become extremely poor in recent years. There are foreigners working for a care agency, who’s driving, at best is shocking. I witness them on a weekly basis driving whilst looking at their phones. I have watched them struggle to park a small hatchback in a space larger enough for two vehicles, & even met one approaching me on the wrong side of the road at Star corner in Wroxall. Every vehicle they use has damage & their management don’t give a toss.
We need more law and order on our roads.
Personally I am fed up paying Council tax for
Zero services
