Why can't motorists control their lethal weapons?

"Newsagent's shop wrecked after driver loses control of her car and
smashes through front door

It may not look like it but this was once a thriving newsagents.

But all that changed in just a few seconds when a driver lost control
of her car and ploughed through the front door.

The impact caused two sides of building to collapse before the first
floor gave way and crashed to the ground.

Amazingly no-one died in the carnage and the four people in the shop
and the driver of the car survived with only minor injuries..."

I can only see *one* motorist referred to here Doug, and there are 26
million motorists not including those such as yourself who spent fifty years
driving but no longer do..

Any chance of that report onto my house move anytime soon?

It makes a change for the Daily Wail to say that a motorist lost
control of her car. They usually claim that the car lost control of
itself, before blaming everyone from the UN to some council official
for oppressing poor hard done by motorists.

And thank you for confirming that the 'Wail' usually gets it wrong.

Like "Godwinning", ROTFLMAO and "thread-necro", I want "the report on
Vince's house move" to become part of internet folklore, meaning "a promise
made but never honoured" to live on long after I am gone.
