Three males, just after lunchtime... I wonder if a liquid lunch was to blame.

I often wonder why crash barriers are not installed alongside canals here and why trees are planted in central reservations. Trees don’t move in a crash and often result in fatalities when struck. 

 

i presume it must be cost for the barriers, but trees?

Poor old trees always get the blame in accidents !!! They have a bad habit  of jumping out in front of speeding  cars causing accidents .
