This has happened here before, clearly not the driver. It must be something wrong with the window


Inattention

We never used to have bollards everywhere to protect people from cars. This is a sad indictment on society as it is, poor driving, inattention and being in a hurry. Throw in the odd medical misadventure that people blame far too often. Take responsibility.

Old people need to prove they can handle an automatic transmission car after filling up with petrol when they re-sit their driving test- once again, this wouldn't have happened with a manual transmission vehicle...
