Audi A3 driver really is the new BMW t88t\!
Discussion
I was walking down an A road today with my husband & my 10 week old daughter in her pram when I suddenly heard a very loud bang, accompanied by a whoosh of air up my leg as I saw a 53 plate A3 shoot past me on the pavement! Not only had he mounted the curb in town, but it was also a single carriageway and a 30 limit in town!
Forgive me if I am wrong, but I'm sure that hitting a curb at the suggested in-town limit of 30 mph does not force the air out of the tyre so hard that it blows. As if that wasn't bad enough (and believe-you-me I was shaking like a leaf & using language that I really hope my daugheter NEVER uses) the foreign bugger had the gaul to suggest that he though it was a 2 lane stretch of road! I don't know how many of you know Northampton, but between the Trumpet & Abington Park Cresent on the Wellinborough Road, it is all ONE LANE! He actually managed to blow his tyre on a left hand turn. The "2 lanes" he imagines involves a hatched middle section.
I rang the police who informed me that if he had not hit anything & there were no witnesses, there was nothing they could do.
On the plus side, he was driving a UK registered car, but does that really excuse driving like a t**t & pretending he didn't know any better?
What would it have changed if he had hit a post or even us?!!
In case you wanted to avoid the t**t his reg was OW 53 LOD & he sounded more German than anything else!
PS. I have an A3 & hubbie has a BMW. Neither of us condone this sort of behaviour!
