Taxi on my lawn

[Greeny]

My first thought, how did that get there.


the other side of the fence is a big ditch, then a field, the road is some distance away

left the road here, sump broken already as the oil on the hedge

nice tyres

time for the driver to make a few calls

Then these guys turn up

did a bit of this

then this turned up




then it was gone.

How he could hit a tree stump hard enough to smash the sump, go through the hedge across the field over a steep rise in the field and still have enough momentum to clear the ditch, smash through the fence a stop not to far from my house was way beyond the comprehesion of us all, ( along with why the police decided not to prosecute for the tyres)

Nice to see cabbies using up all the stocks of the old grooved F1 tyres

Now this is what I call a crash test! Never mind Mondeos...an old Pug with bald tyres is what you want!

In the summer, thats exactly where the barbecues take place, the breath test was negative.

I can only assume he kept his foot on the pedel after the initial off-road experience? Thank goodness he didn't hit anyone or anything important!

[RobFerrari]

Blimey he must have been going at a pace!!

OP you really need to put up some stop signs in the garden.
tut tut.. Could have caused a major accident.

[TRUENOSAM]

I would have had a few choice words to the driver about the damage to your fence and garden.

Bloody minicabs are a death trap. The other day I got in one (again a 406) and I asked him why he was doing 20mph over the limit in the rain whilst the message centre said "Assited braking system malfunction" To his response "yer its only a sensor"

With those tyres even with the brake pedal to the floor I don't think there was anything to be done. Maybe there was a problem before he went through the hedge, but he must have been going damn fast to get that far off road.

Christ. Glad no-one was hurt.
