Stuart Thomas brings you his regular round-up of the way our local and national newspapers have covered the wonderful world of road transport this week.
Port Talbot compares favourably with Chile, if local websites are to be believed, but it's not a place to drive through if you have a dickey ticker.
The Western Mail followed up a survey revealing spiders, rats and roller coasters top a list of what scares the Welsh most by sending a reporter out to try various activities and situations, armed with a heart-rate monitor.
Driving through the M4 speed-camera trap that is South Wales had the same effect on news hound Sam Burson's heart as a trip on the Megaphobia rollercoaster. Buying goods unaccompanied in Anne Summers and walking through a pitch-black tunnel raised his pulse rate higher, but neither has the gut-wrenching, life-taunting appeal that driving through Port Talbot offers its citizens.
Bungling lorry thieves story #24: Eight masked men tried to rob a truck packed with cigarettes, in Nottingham, not realising it was a left-hooker. According to the Yorkshire Post, the driver was able to alert police and hide while the men prised off the wrong door.
Bungling vigilante van driver story #63: Daniel Wardall was so enraged that he had been caught by a speed camera that he set fire to it, not realising the device had already been destroyed by an arsonist. The Sun reported that the camera in Thurton, Norfolk had in fact been destroyed two days earlier. Wardall was banned from driving, given 250 hours' community work and fined 245.
Silliest place to hide your stash of class-A drugs #1: Four mechanics at the Pip Bayley Truck Centre in Bedfordshire were taken to hospital after drinking tea from an urn in which a cocaine stash had been hidden. The Sun quoted a source at the depot as saying: "They realised immediately it wasn't PG tips."
