F10 mounted the barrier on a roundabout
I saw this on the way to work earlier this week. This was during morning rush in rain. I saw this shortly before the Police arrived, so I assume it had not in this state for very long.
This is a very fast roundabout in the UK, where the main carriageway is a fast dual carriageway and the two secondary (minor) roads leading on to the roundabout, require a great deal of patience, good timing and hard acceleration in order to get on to it safely. There is also very poor respect, with vehicles taking the apex of the curve, which I have personally experienced - where you have to brake on the roundabout, because someone has cut in front of you - the danger being, that you have another car, or worse a lorry, coming at you, at 40 mph immediately to your right. Apologies for poor quality photos. |

What a brilliantly designed roundabout.
I think that's an F30.

Yikes, wonder how that happened. Hope everyone was OK and there wasn't too much damage - every time I see a wrecked brand new car something uncoils inside of me
