Swerving over the other side of the road seems like a stoopid thing to do if you ask me. If the other driver swerved back left to where they should be, you'd be looking at a head on again (that's providing you can control your car and not drive it into a house!)

The cynic in me doesn't believe this story. I suspect, given all the references to how fast the car is, that the DM journo doesn't either...

Why do you believe anything the daily mail says?
They could just say "audi a4 estate in accident" but they list the power and specifications of the car because it subconciously makes people assume the car was speeding.
it's not rocket science and why i hate any tabloid journalism especially the daily mail.

Driver swerved to his left to avoid oncoming car, went up on the grass verge, attempted to get back on the road and lost the back end. Car re-gripped and fired him over the road at the hedge/house. He didn't swerve right.

The Audi driver had been going along the A50 towards Knutsford just before 9.40am on Monday, when a Volkswagen appeared to be travelling on the wrong side of the road in the opposite direction.

Typical VW driver  :grin:

The Audi driver is reported to have said.... " the [house] just wouldn't move out of the way. I kept flashing my lights but it wouldn't budge. I am very important, the house really should know better than to not let an Audi past, I'm very important you know "
