Can we all agree then, that people who get themselves killed through their own stupidity deserve no sympathy?

And I'm including Princess Di in this!
Agreed!

Yes.  happy088

Well that's sorted then.
Incompitance in future will attract the death penalty.

Something slightly flawed in my solution? rubschin:

No, I think causing own death by incompetence should be applauded as a good job well done.

The death penalty should be reserved for those that survive the experience.

Shake her hand and bestow the curst of Captain Calamity upon her Nick, she may even take out some more of the useless graspers running us into the ground  whistle:

Anyway getting vaguely back on subject again this is a beauty, driving the wrong way up the M6 doing about 70 in the fast lane:

Quote
Pensioner drives wrong way up M6 
An 82-year-old woman was stopped by police after she drove for four miles the wrong way along an unlit section of the M6 on Sunday night.
Police said "numerous" drivers spun out of control and one car crashed swerving to avoid the pensioner's Peugeot in the fast lane near Shap in Cumbria.

Patrol cars halted the woman, from Windermere, near Shap Beck. No-one was seriously injured in the incident.

A spokesman said she could face a charge of dangerous driving.

Sgt Paul Brown, of Cumbria Police, said the pensioner was taken to Penrith Police Station for questioning following the incident.

Remote area

He said: "She's quite confused about what happened.

"We've established that she was trying to travel between Carlisle and Windermere and has somehow managed to make a wrong turn and has ended up coming back up the motorway."

A police spokesman added that it was a "miracle" a serious collision had not occurred.

He said: "We believe she was going the wrong way for up to four miles and she was travelling between 60 and 70 mph in the southbound fast lane.

"The motorway at this point is remote without street lighting and drivers travelling southbound would have only been aware of the approaching vehicle as it was almost upon them."

The driver of a Daewoo car was treated for whiplash at the scene after crashing into the central reservation to evade a head-on smash with the Peugeot.

The Crown Prosecution Service will now decide if she should be charged.

To be honest before I heard the details I thought Nick had been on the road again.  point:

I guess the oncoming headlights proved a little too cryptic to work out then?

No street lights eh? I bet there were no fences preventing the innocent wandering onto the road either – the place is obviously a death-trap.  noooo:
