A McDonald's spokesman said: "Our drive-thru lanes are custom built for motor cars, vans, trucks and road-worthy mobility scooters. The health and safety of our customers and employees is our top priority and for this reason we are unable to serve pedestrians, bicycle riders, non road-worthy mobility scooters, horse riders or any horse-drawn vehicles through the Drive-thru lane."

McDonald's drive-thru refuses to serve blokes on horse and cart due to 'health and safety concerns'

sorry to be off-topic, but at least McDonalds are up-front about the drive-thru question (wrong sort of "driving", I guess). I'll see if I can go another 20 years without ever having a McDonald.

Spalding woman furious after driver 'obliterated' fence and drove off amid roadwork chaos

The 40-year-old is now worried for her safety as multiple cars are using her large driveway as a turnaround point. She said: "Even though there are road signs saying it's blocked and not to go down, people keep coming.

"The problem with my yard being a horse yard is it has the biggest turnaround area. Someone has obviously driven down and smashed through it but not even stopped to say anything which is not fair.

More driver mental impairments being pleaded here like mixing it with driving is someone else's problem. 

Driver raced through town at 80mph before crashing outside school

A judge told Joshua Gillatt he had shown a 'callous disregard' for the safety of pedestrians and other motorists

Gillatt was sentenced to 12 months in prison. He will serve up to half that period in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in custody. The defendant was disqualified from driving for two years and the ban was extended by six months to cover the length of time he will be behind bars. Gillatt must pass an extended test before he can get his licence back.

Gillatt...admitted dangerous driving. He has 21 previous convictions for 44 offences including thefts, affray, common assault, harassment, and resisting arrest.

Matt Murphy, for Gillatt, said when the officer tried to stop his client he had "panicked" at the thought of a custodial sentence for the domestic allegations he was facing and had driven off rather than pulling over.

He said the defendant had recently been diagnosed with historical mental health issues including post-traumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and generic anxiety...

van gets stuck on notorious Devon tidal road

It eventually took a tractor to rescue the van which had fallen off the road

Andrew (man in a Land Rover) told DevonLive: "I've used [Aveton Gifford tidal road] a few times but I've never caught the tide so I wanted to go through it when it was a bit deeper to test my vehicle out.
He continued "I even got my 'phone out while driving to take a picture - how neat is that?"

My poor little uninsured, unregistered cyclist brain gets fried by this sort of thing - doom and gloom everywhere about the cost of living, etc, but Andrew is going do the driving equivalent of putting your hand on the hot plate to test it...

Mr Grayson, said: “This accident happened. No-one is blaming Paul, they are all blaming the child."  Well, Mr Softee's friend sounds nice.  

"The police seem to be saying highways should do something, it’s not a safe street. I just feel that Paul [Mr Softee] was in the middle of all this as the innocent party."

Weren't we meant not to be selling sweet or fatty stuff outside schools?
