A woman in Lancashire is said to be thinking about moving home because of the dangerous icy corner that she lives on.
Michelle Traill, from Blackburn, has reportedly suffered three winters of gritting nightmares as the road outside her house gets frosty and speeding cars end up hitting her car or ploughing into her garden.
The 45 year-old says that cars have crashed into her garden bushes and damaged her husband’s car several times after losing control at the T-junction.
The situation has got so bad for the woman that she has contacted the local council on multiple occasions to request a grit bin but nothing has been done, and now she is contemplating hiring removals and moving home.
Mrs Traill said the maniac drivers in the area just zoom round the corner and cannot stop. But the authority argues that the road does not qualify for a grit bin and that as a result of budget cuts, they are unable to place grit bins around the borough. To refill the 400 bins is reportedly a mammoth task and takes approximately two weeks.

The world’s first ‘pop up’ shopping centre opened its doors to the public at the weekend.
Boxpark is not your average shopping centre as it is built entirely from recycled shipping container.
The latest retail park in East London is made from 60 steel shipping crates which are stacked two stories high and five rows wide. It took a year to finish and has a temporary lease of five years. It is planned that after the lease expires, the park will move to another part of the country and return the land back to its owners.
Despite its unusual structure, the centre was filled with flocks of people Christmas shopping when it commenced trading. And the retail park even attracted some celebrities including rapper Dizzee Rascal.
British entrepreneur Roger Wade is reportedly behind the unique creation and has said that the containers have a strong symbolism. He also claims that it is the most environmentally friendly shopping centre ever built.
He told CNN: “When I first started out selling clothes on a market stall, I dreamed of the day I’d be shipping my wares off to Hong Kong inside one of these.
“Now I think it’s fitting that something so closely associated with global trade has ended up itself as a shop.”
Here at Robinsons International, we recently wrote a post about shipping containers being used for other purposes and to build a retirement home in Canada. The family created their own house out of several shipping containers and just like the latest retail park in London; the crates are economically sound and structurally practical.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have reportedly been house hunting in the English capital and have now moved in together in a plush pad.
The Twilight stars have moved into a stylish home in the city’s Notting hill area whilst Kristen films scenes in her upcoming new movie “Snow White and the Huntsman.”
Robert, 25, and Kristen, 21, first met each other when they started working on the film adaptations of Twilight novels back in 2008. The actors played on-screen lovers Edward Cullen and Bella Swan but chemistry also heated up when the cameras stopped rolling, although the pair have never officially admitted that they are dating.
And the move follows news that the couple have planned a romantic festive getaway because they will spend Christmas day apart with their own families. But they will reunite on Boxing Day for an extra special break.
An inside source told In Touch magazine that they are sending out joint holidays cards this year to close friends as a way of saying that wedding invitations will be next.
The latest in the vampire series, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”, which is the fourth of a total of 5 films, has netted more than £321 million at the worldwide box office. It is currently the top film in both the UK and the U.S box office charts, after only two weeks of release.
The lovebirds are said to have moved into a posh apartment that includes a master bedroom with a huge double bed and fitted wardrobes, an open plan living room and kitchen, and a roof terrace.
