mickey finn   12 #3 Posted September 30, 2018 Could have been caused by rubber necking, maybe the driver saw more than eight people drinking in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They aren't that high but the leading edge is very steep and it is more like driving up onto a high kerb rather than a speed hump.  I hope that the clowns that did them won't be charging the council to redo them.

This place is very dark sometimes!  Welł given that no one has actually provided any information about how the car ended up on its roof we don't know whether anyone was even in the car when it was rolled.
