Note the 30mph sign on the dashboard.
A MAN in his 60s has been injured after a car crashed into a cyclist before striking an electricity pole.
Police received reports of the single-vehicle crash on Twiggs Lane, in the New Forest, at around 7.40pm yesterday.
The driver had lost control of the car, a Black BMW, before hitting the cyclist.
The vehicle then continued, striking and damaging an electricity pole.
The cyclist, a man in his 60s from Marchwood, received minor injuries.
Firefighters, SSE and BT Openreach also attended to ensure the road was safe.
Three men have now been arrested as a result.
They were detained on Manor Road, Dibden.
A 24-year-old man from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle whilst unfit through drink or drugs.
A 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, both from East Boldre, were arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency service worker.
They all remain in custody at this time.
A Hampshire Fire and Rescue spokesperson said: “Hardley firefighters were called at 19:50 yesterday evening after a car collided with a telegraph pole on Beaulieu Road in Marchwood.
“The attached power line was isolated by the electrical company before the crew made the vehicle safe.

Got it... the "cyclist" was a pedestrian.

Sign on driver's dashboard clearly states:
SLOW DOWN - 20 MPH.
What is do difficult about that?

in a 20 limit and on a road surface loose with chippings? What was so
difficult about slowing down?

"What a total pillock"
Turning back and seeking an alternate route is always an option.

"What a total pillock"
Whatever did he think the speed limit was for?
So he's riding on a road with a new, loose surface; he's already nearly
crashed; and he's over the speed limit.
That's three mistakes.
Who was it mentioned the phrase 'total pillock'?

Safety tip: Never assume anything about other road users.
That's four mistakes

speeding, improper use of the horn, close passing a cyclist or
overtaking on a newly chip sealed road which I think may be prohibited?

Perhaps a Cycling Awareness Course for this rider?

Was the electricity pole wearing hi-vis?
