Idiot driving on a space-saver

Post by StuBeeDoo » Sat Feb 05, 2022 7:46 am

While going about the course of my employer's business I've regularly seen a car being driven on its space-saver spare wheel since well before Christmas. Sadly, around these parts, it's not an unusual sight, TBH - there are quite a few of them. :o
This particular "offender" is a 2018 Golf GTI.

Yesterday I spy the Golf parked in a lay-by on one of the local by-passes, and guess what?? ............The space-saver is flat! I laughed so hard I nearly crashed the van.

What an idiot (the Golf driver)! If that car was anything like my last VW Group jalopey it would have had all sorts of warning lights on too.

I suppose people just can’t afford to buy tyres etc with all the other bills rising - though it still amazes me the number of people receiving state support who smoke like brickworks chimneys!
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

If they can afford a 2018 car they can certainly afford a tyre just pure laziness which has now bit them on the ass :rofl:
