ABANDONMENT ANNIVERSARY
A Volkswagen Golf abandoned on the street in the U.K. has been sitting for so long that frustrated neighbourhood residents decided to throw it a birthday party. George Street in Shefford, Bedfordshire, has been home to an abandoned VW Golf since December 2019. The street has also been home to a large community of residents who are annoyed the vehicle has been an eyesore of the community for over a year now. In a final act of desperation, the community decided to throw the car a birthday party for remaining in the same spot for a year.
SLOW FOR SEA LIONS
We’ve all seen an image or two of a puzzled moose crossing a wooded road—but a sight unfamiliar to many Canadians comes commonplace in Washington state. As the rains come and the rivers rise, there’s a traditional photo op that Northwesterners know well—salmon swimming across standing water on highways…and seals chasing their dinner.
REVERSE RULES OF THE ROAD
Video footage captured by a motorist shows police stopping a driver speeding the wrong way down Highway 401 near Belleville, Ontario on January 6. Police received multiple calls about the red vehicle traveling against traffic on the busy highway, and eventually brought it to a halt by setting up a roadblock. The vehicle—what appears to be a red hatchback or small crossover–was allegedly being driven by a 76-year-old man and was clocked at speeds of over 150 km/h.
