Default Traffic cops tonight

I assume that was a Civic

Launched itself clear over a 12 foot fence and landed on the roof of someones house!

sorry, shouldnt laugh but classic stuff.

One of the coppers is asked how fast it must have been going..
"Well I'd imagine at least 3 figures"

No shit sherlock.

167m from the start to end of the incident.

Not recognisable as a Civic!. testament to a) stupidity of some drivers & b) modern car safety. Darwin is going to have to try harder.

"Is that your black BMW Z4 outside? ........ I am arresting you for suspicion of dangerous driving..." Amazing that the chap let them in to film, no wonder he looked shocked.

You see at the end? He was the dick who rang the police under a fake name!!! Some people.

That was a serious smash though. Cant believe it actually landed ON the house. :S

Fair play to the youf in the Seat though - admitting full responsibility for his actions.

A refreshing change
