It was so bad I used the Tesco jetwash...

Anyway this happened...



...last night so my car might be a write off anyway.

I would be more worried about the wheel that flew up and went through the window onto the back seat...pebble you say ...pah..

I had just bought a spare set of wheels for Winter and Summer tyre swapping.

On the drones front. If you see one, shoot it down.

Letting your dog escape, and it gets on to the M1.
Telling the vets you don't want him, put him to sleep, when contacted.

Well done to the Highways Officer for adopting him.

Flying drone(s) near an airport:

Gatwick Airport: Drone sightings halt flights - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-466237...

It was always going to happen not if but when.
I well remember being shot down on here (!) when drones began to be available & I prophesied that they will get into the hands of the hooligan element AND the terrorist. Having been delighted at the chaos caused at Gatwick why not Heathrow next?
Worse, how easy will it be to rig up a grenade to a drone & drop it through the roof of Wembley stadium for instance?
Again not if but when.

I wonder when airports and the like will start using their own drones to disable others? Maybe with a small EMP device or similar.

Snipers at Heathrow and Gatwick now, according to news. 100,000 people disrupted, say £400 quid each, a nice fat £4 million fine for the tt who did this.

i was thinking that when i read the news. However they wouldn't want any foreign object ste knocking around the runways and gates. I am sure they will come up with a solution, but it's only a matter of time before these fking irritating little s with their stupid little remote control toys get seriously shafted.

True, but if they send a drone up to disable it, they will be able to track the debris and clear it up easily at least. Better than shooting it and potentially scattering it all over the place.

They use drones with nets hanging from them to entangle and capture the wayward drone in places.

Personally I would use a frequency scanner to find the signal if it's being flown manually and jam it. GPS guided ones would be trickier.

Driving along the M40 today having just dropped family at Heathrow, while listening to Radio 2. The presenter was interviewing a drone club chap, given the events down at Gatwick today. When the presenter asked the drone chap why they couldn't just shoot the drone out of the sky, he responded something along the lines of - "You can't do that because a drone is technically an aircraft and endangering an aircraft is like hijacking a 747."

I'm sorry, but a drone* is not an aircraft. It's a remote controlled toy bought by most for novelty purposes. The idea that drone people think their little toys can shut down major international airports, without repercussion, because they believe to be protected by the idea it's an "aircraft" is preposterous.

I'm sure all of the flight crews, passengers and air traffic controllers affected by these morons certainly do not personally consider the drone(s) in question as aircraft and would be more than happy to have the damn things shot out the sky by police marksmen.

• by drone, I mean one of those small quadcopter jobs, not a military UAV which is slightly different.

I would like to offer a public retraction and apology to the eBay Alfa Mito chap. He was held up at the airport due to all the drone crap.

Collecting the car tomorrow.

All the people who decide to park on the double yellows all the way up to the junction. The main street has a bingo club and this is a relatively busy residential through road. All the cauliflower heads think it's fine to do this without even attempting to keep out of the way making it damn near impossible to get passed if you meet somebody coming the other way and forcing anybody turning down this road to reverse back out on to the busy main Street.



The whole drone thing too. Drones are fun. Why is there always some knob who has to ruin it for everyone else. Drone laws aren't exactly hard to understand.

This morning, I'd like to nominate the three women in gym gear who crossed the road in front of me at (non-pedestrian controlled) traffic lights, then stood in the middle of the road, in front of my car, to have a natter after the lights had turned green.

The mind boggles.

I thought you might be exaggerating but this morning almost the exact same thing happened. I was driving through town and stopped at a light controlled crossing and 2 woman met going in opposite directions and stopped to have a chat. They even had the nerve to get angry at the guy next to me who beeped at them.
