Most of those scratches will buff right out. Lol
Oh, you’re famous now mate!
Indeed invisible trenching, we are so good you wont even notice us
Hole in one!
Tetris anyone?
As they say on the underground train platforms in London…..MIND THE GAP!!
Yes, the driver was arrested and will appear in court for his bad decision. However, if that hole had been left open and unattended anywhere else not only the company trenching but the company having it done would be liable and that fellow would have a very nice case against them. New car the whole nine.
That’s 100% BS!
Ample signage around as it drove past same ditch
The difference here is he was allegedly drunk and went to the wrong side of the.cones!
You don’t need to be a detective to wrap up this case!
He was blinded by the light
Shame the cones weren’t there by the open ditch when I drove past on Friday evening, It was an accident waiting To happen. Hope they are ok.
I literally done the same thing that Friday night on my bike but caught myself just before entering the hole. I knew this was going to happen to someone. Stop light & cones was set up very poorly.
