Driver uses his pregnant wife as an excuse to try and drive down Northbrook street, then blames the council when he drives into the bollards. http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article.aspx?articleID=12459It is probably one of the worst instances of someone making up a complete bullsh*t story to try and absolve himself of blame. There are so many holes in that story it's unbelievable. Apparently the bollards "Came right up through the car." If his wife needed medical attention he should have pulled over and called an ambulance. Incredible. |

He had "no intention of driving down Northbrook Street" How does that work then? He magically teleported from The Clock Tower to a positon over the bollards? This guys's a liar. a coward and an idiot. As soon as the child is born it should be taken into care and given to parents who can really look after it. Cruel, but fair.

Quoted Text
He said: “There are signs saying it is a bus only area but nothing about rising bollards.
I did notice yesterday the workmen from the parkway construction company trying to put up a DAMAGED rising bollards sign. |

Threep.
Indeed. So, if you know it's a bus only area, why are you trying to enter it?  |

Northbrook Street hasn't got the same forest of signs that the Bartholomew Street approach does.... (high level signs, low level signs, white letters on red background, black letters on yellow background, black on white, triangle warning signs, circular regulatory signs, variable message signs.................<jeesh!>!!) but it DOES have signs..... And if he didn't want to travel down Northbrook Street, he'd already been doing that for a hundred metres or so since leaving The Broadway (technically) |

The roadworks and lights add some confusion there. But still, let's hang them all. |

...yes, including their unborn! Being serious, he does sound like someone trying to find an excuse (i.e. he did know there are bollards and he shouldn't be there)! |

You and Threep should put context into your quotes before cheering: "Mr Wilson said he returned the following day to take photographs of the area and said there was no signange indicating that there are rising bollards. He said: “There are signs saying it is a bus only area but nothing about rising bollards.”" The point being that he only saw the signs when he returned, not at the time of the incident |

Is he seriously claiming his unborn child is suffering from stress because of the incident? |

He is claiming that is what the Doctor said - “At first we could not feel the baby move and we went for a scan the next day and the doctor said there was a heart beat but not much movement and that the baby was probably under stress." |

EXACTLY. Simple admission of driving without due care and attention, I'd say. (and just to be totally correct, there is no indication of when he saw the signs, the article does not support that notion he only saw them the following day) Pregnant wife? Accident? Unable to feel unborn child move?....nah....think I'll wait until tomorrow. Sure. That'll be right. Dunno about you guys, but if I was driving my pregnant wife about, and we were involved in a car accident, and suddenly there was no movement from the child, I'd move heaven and fuckin' earth to get them to a Hospital, and I'd do whatever was neccessary to see they got checked out immediately. Or maybe that's just me. Threep. oh, and no-one's cheering, I'm just unable to find a sizeable reading on my sympathy meter. |
