        @BBCBreaking so when there is a multiple car crash in fog will the police try to take God to court for causing the crash?

        @BBCBreaking . Most accidents caused by culmination of smaller events. Shocking to blame one manwho was indirectly involved.

        @BBCBreaking looks like police had to try and blame someone. Police prosecuting a man who had nothing to do with the crash! #goslowinfog.

        @BBCBreaking this is disgrace, the police have to get someone to prove a pointless point. How is this in the public interest to charge him.

        @BBCBreaking Poor guy. Some chinless local politician is feeling really good about himself. Different outcome if smoke from Sainsburys.

        @DanCooke82 hmm I still don't think it's entirely blameable on a single person #opinion

        @lottapincurls no, not entirely but u do have to question the thought process of thick black smoke on a foggy night near a motorway
