Bus just driven right over my planted verge!!!

[thekingfisher]

I know this sounds like a lady garden type thread but its not!
We live on a little lane which is only 1 car wide other than where our drive comes into the road. We have a verge which I have put granite rocks along the edge of and the verge is planted with bushes and various rock plans.

The fxxxxxxg no 84 has just come along and as there was something else coming - rather than wait for it to pass it has driven right over 1 corner of my verge - completely squashing 1 whole plant and driving over the rock.

This is not the first time it has happened - BUT I happened to be standing there and saw it happen.

AIBU to be furious and so cross ...I lovingly tend it and its so unfair and thoughtless - its also a stupid double decker which is another rant altogether because it really is too big to be on the roads where we live....

This is very annoying and happens all the time near me but do you actually own the land as in most deeds most people don't own the 3 ft of land next to a highway as that is where the utilities are underground and is owned by the county council so I suspect the bus company won't do much. We have a verge that I maintain but the county council can come along and dig it up if they wanted to.

No it def is ours - we also have - we have very few utilities anyway being out in sticks - no drains - our water meter is within the verge and it does not poke out as far as our formal bricked driveway does iyswim.

Still v cross and keep going out to have a look at it.....

Plant a thorny Cactus there. One with big spikes.
