There's the reason he crashed, it was a BMW. Rear wheel drive ****. Rear wheel drive is for professionals, not everyday road users.
into a lamp post in Midlothian.

Daryl Hall pled guilty to a charge of dangerous driving when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

He was driving with benzoylecgonine in his system, which can form in the body due to cocaine use.

The Daily Record reports how a cyclist had to swerve out his path and a woman had to dive for safety on nearby grass as his car careered towards her in Roslin on June 12 last year.
So the only harm he did was to the lamppost. So why not charge him for the cost of the lamppost? The cyclist was fine.

The driver injured his head, so should wear a helmet in future.
