Driving these country lanes!!

[NEWKID 27,211]

I know people struggle a bit on the narrow country lanes down here, but our last set of guests perhaps struggled the most...

The car couldn't get up the hill to our place, he tried to reverse back down the hill and ended up driving up the hedge and rolling it!!

Not a great start to their weekend away...

I dragged some youngsters in a Corsa vxr out of a hedge a few  weeks back...they came round a corner and swerved to avoid a tractor...ended up on top of the hedgegot them back on their way before the law came minus the front bumper

They all ok Kev?

Do they keep the pink haired lady in the boot instead of a triangle for such occasions, looks like she knows her stuff

I was dropping people back to Bristol airport when my Mrs rang me about it, I said to roll it back over but they'd already called recovery... he said it happened in slow motion..

She was a nice girl, bit shook up tbh...

They were a really decent bunch of people, on a trip before 2 of them got married...not sure they like Devon lanes too much though! Lol

But fair play that takes a special skill to reverse up a hedge to the point of the car rolling over

Spot on . It must be an almost impossible thing to do.

I'd just tell everyone that my Mrs was driving , then every bloke would just nod sympathetically .

Good sales pitch that. "Tranquil cottage available, hidden away amongst Devon's meandering country lanes. A unique feature of this cottage is that you may roll your car on the approach or exit,  but it will be a talking point for the rest of your lives." Lol

Went to widemouth bay for a spot of winters surfing years ago, anyway decided against as too sketchy for us, then it rained heavy so called it a day. Well the t4 camper got to the top of hill with blind bend so I slowed and then it just sat and span tyres. So rolled back down hill left mrs at top on look out for on coming cars and hit it at pace and made it out. Still comes up in conversation now and again.

Didnt manage to roll it though, just burnt the clutch a tad.

Happy days

if the retard driving could not reverse the car then he/she/it should not have a license.
