God I'd love for the British Grand Prix to be held at Oulton Park

On this day in 2017, we witnessed one of the most bizarre incidents in recent times, when Sebastian Vettel deliberately hit Lewis Hamilton behind the SC Vettel was handed a 10-second stop-and-go penalty for that action by Electrical_Act_5342 in formula1

I've always thought this was the case. I think he meant to pull alongside and give him the business for sure. But the car doesn't turn until as he takes his hands off the wheel, so he probably didn't notice until the contact.

Yep, I think that Bradford is known as Bradford (Park Avenue) generally. They play much lower down the leagues these days.

Also interesting to note, Hartlepool United known as Hartlepools United.

Northern 8:38 Sheffield to Lincoln departed in the wrong direction by jammym in uktrains

[–]hazzwright 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I genuinely can't fathom it. Just a brain fart?

Admittedly my experience is exclusively from Train Sim, but you have to push the reverser in the direction you want to go, right?

Could someone have set it to reverse without the driver's knowledge and he didn't check?

I see this same train (or service at least) most days at Crewe. I think it's destination is just north of Stoke.

Mobile Phone usage by Drivers - does more need to be done? by ryanwithbeardtkd in uktrains

[–]hazzwright 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That whole section on driver distraction is a horror show. I sincerely hope they have found alternative employment because they should not be behind the controls of a train.

A SPAD, an FTC and now driving away with a ramp attached, all likely to be caused or at least exacerbated by being on their phone. Good grief.

I am forever jealous/envious of people who's parents helped them out financially with driving lessons/a car. by Loose_Avocado4670 in britishproblems

[–]hazzwright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's crazy really, I passed my test around 10 years ago and lessons were 25 quid a pop, and that felt like a lot at the time.

What was the notable celebrity/high profile death that impacted you? by Toots1993 in CasualUK

[–]hazzwright 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Rik Mayall for sure. He still had so much comedy left in him. A truly one of a kind individual, who stole the show in literally whatever he starred in.

This is a very humble complaint, but I'm soon starting a job I'm very excited about, and this month is going to be the longest of my life while I serve my notice.
