Absolutly gob-smacked that Worcester News would use a picture that appears to have been taken from the driving seat of a moving vehicle.

Is a photo of the crash scene even necessary. How many other people will do this if they think it's a useful service ?

What about the law and road safety in general ?

WN you really are bunch of cowboys sometimes.

Or maybe the photo was taken from a car parked looking at the scene in front of them?

What even someone elses plight ?
The blurred tarmac suggests the car is moving.. That's dangerous and illegal and guess what...causes accidents..

Could you explain the physics behind the tarmac being blurred but everything else being in focus please, it's hurting my head a little.

No. Can you prove the car was stationary ?

I'm no expert in binocular vision etc... Just calling it how i see it. Also the car in the mirror is some way behind "suggesting" the traffic is flowing and not stopped

Seems nobody can prove it was a left hand drive car and just want to have a pop at our polish friends for some reason.

Struggling to understand why everyone thinks this is acceptable..

And before you ask. I don't think it is acceptable having been crashed into by some idiot using a phone whilst driving.

Wait till it's your vehicle trashed or worse..

You've never owned a Mondeo or Focus then ?
We've got one of each

You only get the adjuster on the drivers side.

Why would a passenger have a mirror adjuster switch..?
