    And also leave the front wheels at an angle heading into the kerb. That way, hopefully the most you will damage would be the car in front.

    Looking at the picture of this, it looks to be incredibly lucky this lamp-post is where it is, or that car would have been off down the hill. Could have been far worse. I hope the driver will learn the lesson for next time."

A CAR without a driver smashed into a lamppost after the handbrake came loose.

The silver Vauxhall Astra was parked at the top of North Hill, Colchester, when it began rolling.
