It’s interesting the picture people paint online. He’s in an industrial park trying to drift. Why was she there? Why were her kids there?

Then you look at her bio and perhaps there was a meet where she might be attending also?

Obviously just speculation but this is her Facebook bio:

Absolutely love cars! Wanted to be a mechanic and then look into being a rally driver, not the typical career choice for a girl mind but thats what id love to do! But I caught pregnant with my stunning son luke so I couldn't go on a mechanic course but he's more than worth it tho!

It's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car‼️

Indeed.

…. Van driver at least was paying attention.
Lesson for both of them there.

Where you on the sauce when you came to this conclusion?

? No.And I have just watched it again. It's a clip from which I took something useful for for my own driving, imagining myself as the driver of the oncoming car. Apart from amusement, isn't that the point of this thread?

Van driver was plonker and had there been a collision would have been to blame, but plonkers doing late overtakes as they leave dual carriage way sections are common and foreseeable. He at least noticed the oncoming car and reacted.

Oncoming driver wasn't really to blame for anything, but was performing one of those risky overtakes against oncoming traffic on a wide single carriageway road, anticipating the point when it would become a dual, and did not appear to react at all to the approaching van which was heading for him over the hatched part of the road.

As I said, lesson for both of them. Van driver- patience and don't be plonker; car driver- observation, and perhaps a bit of patience as well.

Hmm, it was some kind of meet, not sure if she was attending or just walking through, even so it sounds like he was showing off and it went a bit wrong, and then it went a bit wronger later on. Sounds like a liability based on the stuff listed, binned an RS3 a few weeks back as well.

Wouldnt be taking kids to a car meet on an industrial estate based on the stuff I have seen.

Of course. Showing off and went a bit wrong and then very wrong.

If I had kids I wouldn’t be taking them to a meet either. Not sure. Think there’s more to this. Especially with all the assumptions on it being mapped, undeclared, on finance etc... seems like let’s throw everything at this guy and see what sticks whilst also being at a meet with your young kids, no doubt in your own car which you or may not also have modified and be showing off in.

V nice M4 tho. Never seen that colour before.

One from Twitter - either not looking ahead and seeing what the bus would do and lift off slightly, or just driving towards it regardless.

Either way, making a deal out of nothing.

Yeah, did look good, its now either a write off or Motorhub stock.

What difference does it make if it was a show or not? Throbber

I think the point is she took her kids somewhere that really isn't appropriate for them.

I think (and I'm jaded and fed up around this now) that I'm disappointed they didn't die. I sincerely hope they do, soon, before breeding and without affecting anyone innocent.

That’s an awful thing to say.





I agree.

Wishing someone dead is harsh, but in their case, why? They'll never bring anything to society, just cost it.

Like I said, I agree

1.30. 'he took his seatbelt off, then he saw the camera'

Hahahahahaha! yeah righto. He probably just thought better of it, or his wife piped up to not bother. Scared of the camera indeed.....

2.48. If that's an advanced driver I think I'll stick to being an average one.

Alternatively they could've been visiting somewhere on the estate.

Plenty of kids softplay-type places on industrial estates.

Notice the tard hit the brakes just before pulling over, hope he got pulled as well.

[Lemming Train]

Why don't the police just do them up the inside like everyone else with a brain would do? It's not like police aren't averse to breaking laws when it suits them in other aspects of their job so what's the problem? Sitting behind the van getting all angry and frustrated is a monumental waste of time and energy.

Seems to be the standard reaction for many when they see blue lights approaching behind.

That, and completely forgetting how to operate a vehicle and drive forwards. Instead, deciding to try and edge closer and closer to a wall opposite a traffic island, effectively creating a road block. Why they don't have the basic common sense to drive forward where the road is wider I have no idea...

I didn't see too many opportunities to pass on the left.

I'd have probably got up close on the OS rear of the van, that given the van driver braked when he may've spotted the police car probably wouldn't have ended well. I probably wouldn't have thought of covering the brake pedal with the left foot at the time.

11 points right there imho.

That stretch is awful for lane discipline as well, second only to the M56 around Warrington in the North I think.

There were at least half a dozen opportunities where plod could have easily breezed past. It's not like they're driving some underpowered piece of cheese is it? Traffic plod vehicles will be packing 250hp minimum I'd have thought. If he'd done that at the start instead of sitting behind the clueless van driver like a lemon he'd have been in Halifax by the end of the clip instead of not even being past The Little House on the Prarie.

I didn't see a pass until that Pug 206 moved out of the middle lane. And the van was weaving a bit in the outside lane.

I don't like accelerating into gaps that are likely to disappear or get narrower.
