Epic driving fail

[ffutures]

This happened in Porchester Road (about 300 yards from my house) some time between 1.50 and 3.10 today - I have no idea how it's even possible to drive fast and badly enough to do this on this particular bit of road, which is usually very slow moving traffic:





I can only assume they got the corner incredibly badly wrong or something...

I can't work out what the car is resting on.

I remember many years ago crossing Pall Mall just by the steps going down to St. James Park. There was a zebra crossing there and as I was on the crossing, a car coming along the road decided that rather than stop for me, they'd swerve into the other lane so they could go behind me. Unfortunately, what the driver failed to realise was that although Pall Mall was two lanes both going west, there was a raised concrete divide between the lanes and he ended up straddling the divide.

Thee right rear wheel is on top of one of those plastic keep left illuminated signs, which has been crushed, on a concrete island crash barrier thing. So far as I could tell there was nothing supporting the left rear wheel, though it's just possible it's touching the concrete on the inside, the angle was wrong for me to be able to tell.
