Wow, make sure you check your tyres every time you take your van out

I wonder if the motorhome was overloaded?

That would make it significantly less stable.

I would also suggest it was being driven at excessive speed.

I agree with you. Possibly a moments inattention and a reflex turn of the wheel to compensate, assisted by speed and stupidity. I have not read the comments but I would probably agree with most of them.

He’s lost it a bit on the front end starts fighting with the steering then welts the brakes after it’s out of shape locking the brakes dragging the back end round. Kinda like a handbrake turn. A bad combination of speed panic balance and the aerodynamics of a brick.

The main thing is thankfully it looks like no one was injured.

i must say the witty comments on here have given me a good chuckle..........dont know how you all come up with these one liners........

Yes it does and my lunatic neighbor just lets it come up as an advisory every year.
Advisory Notice Item, Nearside Front Nail in tyre

@harrow - Not from Harrow are you by any chance? Lots of lunatics around here, I can vouch for that; in Harrow too

Nail in tyre:

Seems that both Harrow and Caledonia are right - or wrong? Had a look on Google and there is no definitive answer. https://www.google.com/search?clien...+mot+failure&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

It seems that it will depend on the MOT station?

They wear it as a badge of honour, drive cars with the minimum of repairs, yes the same front tyre had a nail in it 2 years running.

I'm gonna guess if a nail has been in a tyre two years, the car spends a lot of time parked up and when it does move it's only to local shops and mainly in a 20 MPH zone.
Still, trouble waiting to happen if they do venture as far as an M way, and it won't be a simple tyre fix by then.

Driven fast, like a lunatic, only a couple of days ago, I can still drive the car its only the indicators that don't work
