All over a mobile phone. James Barlow explains here [click link].

  1. That's not a ford is it?

    But it is amazing how many "drivers" still break the law and risk other peoples lives because they don't know how to push the off button on their mobiles.

  2. HMRC should go through his tax returns - a man with no compunction about trying to kill rozzers is unlikely to have been punctilious about his taxes.

  3. I wonder if the miscreant's name is Richard Head. What an utterly idiotic and dangerous thing to do

  4. I reckon it beats this:

    "A man who blew up a speed camera because he feared he would lose his licence after he was snapped speeding has been jailed for four months. . .

    "He claimed he was afraid he would lose his job if he was caught speeding. He already had 10 points on his licence and thought he would receive a driving ban if more were added.

    "Later that night, he drove 40 miles back to the camera with a quantity of material to create a thermite reaction - a process which would melt the camera's metal body in an explosive fire.

    "A recording from the hard-drive of the camera [which survived] showed the Ford Transit van approaching. As the vehicle was driven off, sparks were seen coming from the camera box and then it exploded."
