That is awful. No one needs to see that once never mind often

You need a route avoiding the M5!

Was reading in the paper at lunchtime some dude got caught on the M5 taking his wife to hosp. He was going like 105mph or something. Ridiculous

Far too many people die on the roads anyway for whatever reason, mostly down to the volume of traffic (which is often too high) and people driving too fast.

Many roads are death traps these days.

It's about the fact someone just fucking topped themselves in a very public manner.
I'm seeing more and more why people think you are extremely thick.


Maybe he missed the ‘leaper’ bit.... easy done :thumbsup:

I like Bridgwater too much.

If someone goes past me at a mental speed then I slow down and pull into the left lane just in case they have fucked up half a mile down the road.

The one that really fucked me up was the young woman who got laminated into the road after a central reservation crash a couple of months ago just before Taunton, she wandered, dazed into the carriageway and was hit many times. It's not the suicide, it's the death. I don't like seeing dead animals in the road let alone humans.

Oh I remember you posting about that. Beautiful young woman.

I got stuck in the aftermath of a jumper a couple of years ago. The poor fella had been pulled about and was spread across the carriageway. It’s a notorious jump spot near me on the M60. I think it’s near a mental health inpatient facility in Prestwich.
Thankfully most of the potential jumpers are talked down.

This isn't about road accidents. It's about a suicide.

That's sad, Stooo, and unpleasant for you to see.

oh fuck off, rigsby. just for once try having some thought for another person.


Yes, I do feel sorry somewhat for the person concerned, but why don't you and others look at the bigger picture instead of slagging me off.

This person could have caused a massive pile up and the deaths of dozens of innocent people.

Suicide is often a selfish act because of the way it affects friends, family and other non connected innocent people.

Whatever.


If you decide to commit suicide, do it in such a way that people outside of friends and family cannot be affected. :thumbsup:

Ask a London Underground driver how a one under affected their life. Ask the train driver, passengers family and friends who died in the Ufton Nervet train crash how they were affected by that.
