That's been going in since Methuselah was a kid. The whole area is best avoided during the day.
Actually best avoid the area at any time.

Woman turned left off Prospect rd, saw the red light for those traveling along Corporation st and stopped till it changed to green, not the first time I've seen this happen!
I swear some people have never had a test or read the highway code.

That happens a lot with people turning left off Weston Road onto Riverway...
You do wonder sometimes!

I always find it amusing that drivers (and I'm sorry to say, mostly women BMW and Audi drivers) really, really object to motorcyclists filtering through slow moving traffic and will go to extreme lengths to try and stop it happening. Most drivers will pull in to the curb a little when they see a motorcyclist filtering, especially in Shropshire, (well done people of Shropshire 
) which is something that I will always acknowledge with a thumbs up as I pass, but BMWs and Audis almost always pull across to the center line, I have even seen them pull over the center line just to try and stop the motorcyclist from passing. bizarre! I always make a point of passing these drivers as soon as the road is clear and it is safe to do so, as there are not many cars, Audis and BMWs included that can accelerate as quickly as a motorcycle, even if the rider is old enough to be the drivers father.

Unbelievable!
Today 9/July/2014 @ 1.30pm approx, loud crash outside my house....Im upstairs so I look out to see a largish Silver car on my side of the Rd & a Blue car on the other, the woman in the blue car looks like shes arguing with the older man (lemon shirt, white hat) in the Silver car.
Silver car man gets out & looks at his passenger side, gets back in his car & zooms off...I presume that he must of hit the Blue car so go out to see if the woman is ok...
Shes fine.....the driver of the Silver car had hit MY car & took the wing mirror clean off! The lady had stopped to tell him what he had done.... I know this as i recognised both the lady & the blue car....
Mr Silver car driver - whilst I appreciate that you were probably in a hurry to leave North End, please be aware that there are 2 cctv cameras that cover my house (neither of them mine) & that when I get your regiastration number I shall be reporting you to the police.
Any mechanics repairing passenger door panels of older gentlemens cars, please have a word with the owner about how its only polite to appologise for your stupidity & lack of concentration, & tell them maybe they should re-take their test.
FUMING!

Driving home on A34 with my newborn daughter in the back from stoke hospital, two pink ballons in the back saying "its a girl" etc. I reach the top of stafford where the yellow lines are and some twat in a vauxhall astra estate flys up within 2ft of my bumper. As im almost at the roundabout I dont move over for him, he undertakes, almost hits a range rover in the left hand lane and swerves back im front of me with no space to get in, forcing me to stamp on the brakes! He then goes back in the left hand lane and speeds off down the beaconside road. In this instance I hope he hits a tree at some point and expires. What a massive bellend!

Sorry you had such a horrid trip home & congratulations on your new baby
Gridlock around the island north of the town come 5pm is a natural habitat for red light jumpers and junction blockers even when it's blatantly obvious it'll cause mayhem resulting in drivers shouting, blaring horns and cutting into next lane without checking mirrors to drive behind offending cars.
I nearly got taken out this morning on my walk into town at the blind pelican crossing at Foregate St / Island (next to Beth Johnson Housing Association) as a stupid lady in a people carrier went through several seconds after the lights had changed.
Going to start noting down plates of red light jumpers and junction blockers to shame them (amber gamblers I'll let off), really needs some police presence (on foot else they'll be stuck in traffic).

just to confirm , ive now set the security cam through the server to record on motion detect. it should now record video clips and stills once triggered.
will also record through infra red at night time too.
i meant to do this when i got the server up and running so sorry it wasnt available today.
let me know if you get full internet access and ill organise a username / pass so you can access the feed directly.
