Shit A Brick

I was mowing my lawn yesterday, on the front footpath, and I saw a car driving up out of the corner of my eye. The bonnet had blown up and was bent back against the windscreen. It had 2 wheels on the road and 2 on the footpath. It drove straight past me, maybe 3 feet from me, just missed a tree, kept going straight across my driveway and shuddered t oa stop in front of my neighbours house.

My first thought was that he had done an awesome job to stop safely with the bonnet having malfunctioned like that. But the props & r lasted about as long as it took for the driver to get out and stagger around drunk. He was absolutely flogged.

Another car pulled up but hung back next to me watching him. They told me they had been following him to make sure he didn't hit and kill anyone. Apparently he had already hit a car with 2 people in it and 3 light posts.

They called the cops who turned up pronto but the guy was so drunk he didn't even try to run away.

In another half an hour I would have been sweeping my driveway with my 20 month old son. He has a kids broom and just loves to do what ever I do including sweeping the driveway.

Unbelievable.
