“Ultimately Mr Segedin’s actions in driving without a seatbelt have cost him his life in an accident that he may well have survived had he worn one,” coroner Carla na Nagara said yesterday.Mr Segedin, 39, refused to wear a seatbelt and had been fined for not wearing one 32 times since February 2003.

An unlucky thief had his world turned literally upside down on Friday night when he became impaled on palisade fencing.
It is alleged that the man was trying to steal goods from informal traders in Cathedral Street, central Durban, when he his plan went awry.
ER24 paramedic Katya Evans said emergency services personnel arrived at the scene on Saturday morning to find the unfortunate man hanging upside down with one foot still impaled on the large metal rods, and an unlit cigarette hanging from his pursed lips.
“He had been trying to climb over the fence and both his feet had been impaled. During the course of the evening he had managed to free one foot. According to bystanders, he had been hanging on the fence for nearly 12 hours.”

Ogden jumped out of the way of the Manchester to Blackpool train at the very last second as it travelled over the Rylands crossing - leading both his friends and the driver to believe he had been hit.
The father-of-one admitted that he had been drinking before the offence, on July 14 this year, and thought the whole thing would be “a bit of a laugh”.
I think he should also have the word “twat” tattooed across his forehead.
