Where is that? Here in the UK, whilst nowhere near as bad as the US, the sentences drivers get for even intentionally running someone over are laughable.

Thanks, yeah I think most people, drivers or not, are decent people, but driving is stressful and that changes them. I regret hitting the car now I think about it, I wonder if they would have said sorry or just drove away.

So I’m walking to an evening class at a local college, it’s dark. There’s a bend just before the junction and as I’m walking across a car comes round way too fast. I had to step back to avoid being hit. I was wearing gloves and as it went past I hit it, no idea why, just instinct and anger.

I carry on walking and I see the driver has pulled over a bit down the road, I was expecting a “sorry are you ok” but she instead shouted “did you just hit my car?”. That set me off, shouting at her that she almost fucking ran me over. Then she says “you don’t have to use that kind of language”, the fucking nerve.

Gave up and just walked off. Wish I’d have smashed the wing mirror or keyed the car or something.

Has anyone else almost been run over and how do you deal with the anger of it?

Just get all government accounts off Twitter. A lot of people still use Twitter because of these “important” accounts, the less of them, the more people are happy to move elsewhere.

I live in the Uk and fancied a holiday just going around Great Britain for a week by train and saw this was an option.

Just wondering if anyone has used it and was it worth the price vs booking each trip in advance.

I think they meant getting the account linking stuff undone/reversed took a Herculean effort. Guess Sony really wanted it

I know it’s the Verge and all but really, using “big mad” in a headline?

Isn’t it more like: Genocide vs Genocide + dictatorship?

I think because they looked to Roman and Ancient Grecian art as the “ideal” therefore copying those ideas and attitudes in their own works.

If slick tyres are used in F1, they’re good enough for me.

Hate how the BBC always use passive voice for car crashes. No mention that a driver is at fault.

The Conservatives in Wales lose their last ditch attempt to stop the speed limit change from 30mph to 20mph. The change will be coming into force on the 17th September
