Default A lesson in how not to park your TT

Driver is meant to be in a pretty bad way so hopefully he'll make a speedy recovery but how the fuck do you do this?!

I should imagine he was probably going a little quicker than 30 mph and that he'd said to his mate "watch this" immediately before hand - it's the driving equivalent of the commentator's curse

Yeah, I feel for the homeowner too

no doubt the people who live there will see their premiums rise for their house and car insurance due to the fucktard in the Audi.

Its a 300m straight with that house on the bend. Could of easily been done with a little excess speed and crap road conditions.

i entered Long Meadow Walk, Carlton Colville on google maps, when you have the map go to the far end of long meadow walk where it meets the uplands road /comer road junction, if you use the street map (orange man) you will see its a bend

Mis-judged the corner in a spectacular manner? went up curb across the pavement through a large hedge and garden then used the BMW and Audi as a launch pad into the house. Here I am guessing but rear of car moved up and to the right hitting the garage to! the car then dropped down in the hole in the wall it made.

I recon the BMW and Audi are both written off, the house will have structural damage as it is a corner impact and the garage will need work on too. Then there will be the internal damage of bricks flying across the room down stairs at great speed!

The house might not be livable in for a while so hotel costs too?

This is why we all have high insurance premiums!

when you travel using googlemaps from the roundabout down to where it bends slightly left and see where the house is it becomes blatantly obvious that he's been pounding the pedal and tried to take the corner and the understeer/road conditions have taken it in a straight torpedo style line into that house. There's no other way around it really is there? What a complete chump knacker. Guy shouldn't be on the roads ever again

Doubt his insurance will be a problem for a while. I'd imagine a fairly hefty ban will be coming his way.

I read it was about 1.30 after a night out. So pissed, speeding and blatently fucking stupid!

Wasn't drinking, was just going to fast. Everyone makes mistakes and i hope he will learn from it, if he wakes up that is.
