[first-things-first]

A couple of years ago, late at night I witnessed a Ford escort van of some age come haring round at a junction without slowing down. He proceeded to hit the high raised refuge and bollard in the middle of the road. This is a junction designed for double decker buses. He then proceeded to over steer towards the kerb some metres down the road, narrowly missing a bus stop. I did not see him slow down at all and the car made no funny noises after the demolition job.

I called the police to report it on 999, as he was a danger to others, no matter what the reason.
