“@trev-wright, how much time are we talking about here? Even though I hate the tiles, they look to messy and are gradually breaking up, they have been there an awfully long time without anyone being killed.
No, I suspect as others have said it's down to boy racers again.”

“Betting shop window eh? is anyone taking bets on what really caused it? From the speculation in this thread we need to know what the odds are before placing our bets.”

“well how fast to smash into a shop window, thats adjacent to the road ? dry or wet ? unless he aimed to go straight at it, the shops not on a bend, so it realy dosnt take a lot of thought, does it ?
I think another brixham racer accident is what were looking at here.”

“This is all down to those ridiculous patio tiles which serve as a road surface in Fore Street. For goodness sake get rid of them before someone is killed which will only be a matter of time if nothing is done.”
