Default Pavement motorists wreck house for second time!

Presumably someone in the house owns a bicycle and was put at risk.
The video says the family will be homeless for as much as six months.

"A family's home in Barry has been wrecked by a speeding car for the
second time in four years.

Caroline Broad, says she is convinced someone will die unless further
measures are introduced to slow down traffic.

The Vale of Glamorgan council says a 20mph (32km/h) speed limit has
already been introduced. Nick Palit reports.

Here's Doug as usual struggling to find a link with cycling - but I really
do thing he's stretching it a bit this time!

Probability is against you there Doug, with around three times as many
people as bicycles in the UK, and I don't really see either of them as
enthusiastic cyclists. Pavement motorist is stretching it a bit too; the
car only crossed the pavement and that in the early hours of the morning.

The video says the family will be homeless for as much as six months.

"A family's home in Barry has been wrecked by a speeding car for the
second time in four years.


Time to move IMO. If not, build a much stronger garden wall and cover it
with black and reflective yellow stripes.

Caroline Broad, says she is convinced someone will die unless further
measures are introduced to slow down traffic.

Looking at the video, the highway authority has put a speed bump in just
the right place before the junction to cause anyone is approaching too
fast to lose control. There was a similar problem with speed bumps in
the New Forest a few years ago. A chicane would be slightly less
effective at slowing traffic but they are more visible and anyone
getting them wrong is likely to hit the street furniture before anything
else.

What should be done, Doug? We look to you for guidance.

Should we make speeding an offence? Should we make careless driving an
offence? Should we introduce a 20mph speed limit and build speed humps
near to where this sort of thing happens? Should we demolish all houses
near road junctions? Ban all motorised transport with immediate effect?
Or what?

How do you know the resident owned a bicycle ?

Are you implying that the motorist intentionally drove into the house
because they owned a bicycle?

You have yet to state what you want done, ban all vehicles ? if so how
are Holland and Barratt going to get your lentils delivered to their
store?

If they sold their bikes they would no longer be cyclists at risk.

And that car was not driven by "a pavement motorist". You have been told
this many times and yet the lesson seems not to sink in. Now, produce
your proof that the driver had been proceeding along the pavement before
losing control of the vehicle.

Or admit, once again, that you're an habitual liar.

There is a house near where I live that is on a sharp bend. In the
garden of that house, in the path that a car would take should it fail
to negotiate the bend, have been placed two very large and heavy
cylindrical bales of hay.
