Bobby McWheeler’s
upside down world of motoring
The top stories from 2007. Bobby is not appearing
as a celebrity anywhere
1.
Norfolk
Constabulary are investigating a collision between
a cow and a Fiat Brava that caused traffic chaos for
rush hour polluters. The animal is believed to have
escaped from a nearby field before being hit by a
neatly (re)styled European Car of the Year 2005. The
rest of the herd have been detained indefinitely in
their barn until a full investigation is carried out.

Green travel plans to and from a major campus on the
outskirts of the Scottish capital city have caused
traffic chaos.Irate motorists were forced not to drive
over a line of five cyclists on Edinburgh’s
narrow Newcraighall Road. “The current cycling
facilities are only adequate for three bikes an hour.
What we have here is a militant minority refusing
to drive, pay exorbitant train fares or spend 45 minutes
on a bus. Encouraging green travel is fine but not
in an area that relies on cars for traffic congestion.”
commented Environmental Studies lecturer Arnold Clark.
3.
A partially sighted driver (not called Mhairi McFocall)
caused traffic chaos by driving the wrong way on the
wrong side of a single track road near Ullapool. Her
car was later recovered from Loch Broom along with
a large quantity of digestive biscuits. Disappointed
police officers placed a low street value on the haul
as they had all gone soggy. A fresh pack of HobNobs
has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
