A DRIVER ploughed his car into a house on Christmas Day — causing it to partially collapse.

He smashed a 9ft hole in the detached home, forcing the family to evacuate.

No one inside the property was hurt.

Firefighters had to use support beams for the house to stabilise it.

Gas engineers also attended after reports of a leak at the property in Grays, Essex.

A neighbour said: “They must have been travelling at some speed — maybe 80mph or so to do that kind of damage.

“They hit the electrics and gas supplies. The gas man came round and told me to leave. So I went to the pub.”

Essex Police said: “A man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving without a licence and no insurance and remains in custody.”

Earlier this month, Tyler Carley, 20, was killed in a fatal collision just weeks before Christmas, near Mangotsfield, on the evening of December 5.

He was a passenger in a scaffolding lorry when tragedy struck on the A4174 close to Bristol.

Emergency services sadly pronounced him dead at the scene.

No licence. No insurance. So nothing but a chav-cyclist, IOW.

That's your usual paper, isn't it?

There is a tribute page dedicated to these moronic drivers.

"Note This piece really isn’t intended to make the case that drivers of Audis are worse than drivers of any other vehicle. That may or may not be the case; I wouldn’t like to jump to that kind of assumption without any evidence. Instead, it’s really intended to demonstrate that just one make of motor vehicle is involved in tremendous damage to our urban environment, and indeed to human beings; damage that people travelling around on bicycles are simply not capable of causing, despite the steady stream of articles by journalists about an apparent ‘cyclist menace’.

I could, of course, have included motor vehicles of all manufacturers embedded in houses, destroying property, and so on, but that would have been a lengthy picture post, much much longer than the one here. Audis were chosen arbitrarily, mainly because a sequence of crashes involving Audis appeared nearly simultaneously in my timeline a while back. And also because ‘Audis in houses’ has phonetic appeal. But nothing more than that..
