OT: how to find out about traffic incidents on a certain stretch of road

nothanks · 2019-11-13T18:02:50+00:00

Apologies for an OT request (at least it's not politics or religion!), but I need to find out what incidents have occurred on a stretch of road in the past 5 or 6 years and don't know how to start. A quick check of the local press hasn't helped and I'm waiting for the police to respond to an info request but optimism isn't high - any suggestions for other places to look?

Thanks very much. I didn't know "the usual thing". Works OK on Firefox.

Only if he is a freemason :-)

ctrl plus mouse scroll wheel back and forward should work too.

Laptops don't have scroll wheels.

Some older ones do, most these days use the very right-hand and bottom edges of the touch-pad for that. You have to enable the function in Windows first to use it.

I don't like touch pads, so I usually use a track-ball with scroll-ring with my laptop unless I really am using it on my lap or some other awkward place.

And for that website, Ctrl isn't necessary with the scroll wheel anyway.

I now realise this is NOT the answer. Ctrl+/- merely zooms text and images on all websites, and Ctrl-0 reverts to normal. On this website it does not zoom in to show a small area of the country with appropriately small markers. Shift-Drag does this as I originally reported.
