well,

How is it even possible to turn a car over on the road out of Ranton? This is a road I use often and is quite straight after the "climb" out of Ranton; thus, I have no idea how they did this..... going too fast/not taking care of what they are doing/driving like a prat?
A street view showing how straight the road is... https://maps.app.goo.gl/3yyweGKwDBxBbem46

She was dismissed so that's something perhaps uncommon for the police... No driving ban though, it was just careless (even though she'd lied about the cause - presumably the courts just ascribed that to "trying to keep job").
Are they sure it hasn't been there since the neolithic? It looks in keeping with e.g. some of the local menhirs? Although the other ones near St. Malo look in better condition (and considerably heavier).
Harsh to arrest somebody, just because their car decided to flip over.
Speed has nothing to do with it
And it's purely coincidental that a fellow awareness raiser was instrumental in another vehicle write-off shortly before. It's all mysterious, just like Harry Potter
"Swerving to avoid an animal on the road" is the new catch-all excuse, for when you crash your car because you are busy texting someone.
How is it even possible to turn a car over on the road out of Ranton?
There seems to be a lack of empathy here. Don't you realise how difficult it is to keep track of all those screens, the phone, eating and drinking and so on- and on top of all that having to look at the road?!
no, because it's cyclists who want to take us back to the Stone AgeÂ
