Channel 4 news tonight had a bendy driver with an uncontrollable back

But the regular pictures of double deckers being cut up by low bridges
never stopped you boarding them, I'll bet.
False analogy, since a double decker having its top sliced off is
invariably the result of human error but an uncontrollable bendy on bad
roads is the result of climate error, for want of a better phrase.

Not really, except in very rare cases. I don't watch Ch4, but I'm pretty
confident that London's weather yesterday was not severe enough to remove
driver responsibility (assuming the event was as described, and not, uh,
exaggerated). Don't forget that no Bendy was allowed out until the roads
were pretty clear; Bendies in Eastern Europe work fine on three inches of
packed ice throughout the winter without blaming accidents (should there be
any) on global warming.
