    What an absurd thing to say! In what world would anybody be driving so fast into a hedge while parking that a collision might result in death?

      I was fully prepared to admit my mistake but what you described is not at all what is happening. One does not park at 60 mph+

        I’m sorry, I didn’t read enough of the article to realize that it wasn’t people parking, but rather crashes on a road with too high a speed limit.

        Your comment in that context is actually quite reasonable!

          Haha, I didn’t read the article either until you commented— I just looked at the picture and estimated/assumed.

          So I appreciate your comment, it made us both look a little closer!
