Not to mention the "powerful" RWD car. :-X
Some nice doors by the roadside in rare star silver. Anyone interested? ;)

Yeah, a 2.5 litre according to the voiceover. Who apparently hadn't looked at the boot badge...
And no license, no insurance, no tax, no MOT. ::)

Windows might need a wipe...
If he was in top, then he was going fast enough to break summat :-\

don't seem to be any airbags deployed, damage to front doesn't look that much. big head shaped bump in the roof but passenger walked i assume driver wasn't wearing a seat belt as well as no licence, mot, insurance.

This video makes me realise how lucky I was to survive my teens and early twenties.
If it wasn't cars, bikes, alcohol, illegal substances or loose women, it was something else.
Still, hopefully I'm a responsible adult now. ::)

Just proves what I said about spacesaver wheels recently.

Driver seat airbag has popped. Steering wheel airbag doesn't fire if the impact doesn't warrant it... When I buried one of mine into the back of a lorry at 20ish it didn't go off... Nor did the pretensions for that matter.

That happened at Caddington in Bedfordshire some time ago now...

I'd guess around 2009/10? ::)

Luckily they weren't driving a saxo ;D still, justifies my thinking they should send all new drivers on a skid awareness course

There were plenty of skid marks, both outside and inside the car.

I notice they referred to the car having a space saver on it, clearly not much of one as if I've got this right it's a 15" steel as used by the police?
What a waist of a perfectly good GLS

Exactly. 15/205. More than adequate. Was probably the only legal tyre on it as well. ::)
PC Shona Gillen. What a joke she is. Couldn't catch a cold.

Only upto MY2000... 16" alloys thereafter ;)
The issue isn't the wheel/tyre size per se, but rather the fact that it is a very different size to the other wheel on the same axle, hence the 50mph caveat as clearly borne out by the yellow sticker on it ::)
