Not sure how you could miss that.

What posts are you talking about? I can't see any in the pic.

How on earth did she manage to hit those? You could get a truck down that road with space either side.

Mobius 1 · 19 Mar 2015 at 14:02

christ, you could fit a bus down there. how did she manage to hit them?

MooMoo444 · 19 Mar 2015 at 14:03

Presumably something was coming the other way and she panicked and just drove into them trying to give room.

well, you'd hope that was the case....

Indeed you could!

I'm not sure I'd want to though....

So she continually crashes cars and you allow her to drive a Range Rover?!

I can sort of see the logic there - at least when she crashes she has a lot of metal around her to protect her, certainly better than something like a KA!!

Exactly, and it is also much easier to steamroll over obstacles in a Rangie, you know cyclists, dogs, children etc...

Wait... the damage on the photos, it's on the side... that road is pretty straight.

How has she managed to turn into the post? :confused:

Not that you can see it very well, she pulled out of the road on the right of the below picture.

My thinking of having a Range Rover is that she wouldn't be able to damage it that easily and it has served me well, she's reversed into the garage, had two people go into the back of it and had someone go into the side of it, all with no damage to the Range

That is an insane amount of accidents to be involved in, especially when added to the others you've mentioned. Do you not think there is some sort of major issue here which needs to be dealt with before her next accident is more serious?

Many people go through their entire driving careers without being involved in a single 'non fault' accident and yet she's been involved in 3 in one car alone... co-incidence?

It sounds bad but she's just unlucky. The side one was from someone reversing out of their driveway without looking and the other two happened in car parks whilst my car was stationary.

I was wondering though, does any liability fall on the resident, surely you can't just put metal bollards up that close to the road? Would be a tricky one though as it is a private road.

Sirrel Squirrel said:

'Tricky one'? I've got to admire your nuts for even thinking about asking whether or not someone can put bollards at the side of their own road, let alone posting a picture of the vast continental shelf-sized gap between the two verges.

Were it not for the bollards, your wife would have been illegally driving over the owner's land. This combined with the criminal damage your wife has caused to the bollards means that your only option is to hand yourself in at the nearest police station.

Unbelievable.

Still only wide enough for one car, you can see people have had to drive on the verges to pass each other.

It's almost as if it's not the M25, isn't it?

Definitely not the M25. It's not gridlocked.
