How do people do it?
« on: 24 March 2013, 16:30:33 »
I know he's driving an Audi (which might answer my question :-X) but how do you manage to do this when it's obvious the roads are slippery and it's snowing? ::) ::)

Should add, I hope the driver makes a full recovery... He's in the best place for head injuries :y

judging by some of the halfwits on the road on Friday night when it took me over 2 hours to do 20-odd miles just because of a bit of snow (OK ..... it'd drifted to 5 or 6 feet in places  ::)) it doesn't surprise me. Probably too much right foot.

to get air like that and end up where he has,he must have been driving like a complete tool...hopefully he will make it but if he does think he needs more than a driver awareness course :-\

It doesnt actually say a 20yo, it says believed to be in his 20's, so if early 20's, maybe a rich dad that can afford a car like that for his son or if late 20's, doing well for himself.......either way i would have thought insured.......but you can never tell these days  :-\

True......assuming it wasnt stolen.....it could have been Dad's car or a mates i guess....hence giving it large if he's not used to driving it, a bit of a novelty.

very popular car to steal, probably now, definitely 10 years back.  I know someone who was likely followed home, coathanger though letter box early hours of morning, keys and tt gone, eventually written off with a dead driver.
