Default How much T Cut for this one?

This is what happens when a jacked up Landrover Defender with an industrial sized winch on the front doesn't stop when the rest of traffic does.

The LR was 2 cars back, the car in between swerved onto the opposite lane, but he still couldn't stop in time.

Luckily, Mrs FB, the juniors and I were all unscathed.




ps. SPOTTED GT100, Roeshot Hill, A35 nr. Christchurch. No wave as I was taking down insurance details.

I hope you got out and lamped the Land Rover driver one. Glad to hear you and the family are all okay, that's the main thing I guess.

Nasty!

Could you see it coming and brace yourself or was it all over before you knew about it?

Sore neck this morning?
