Mother Jailed After Drunkenly Launching Nissan Over Roundabout With Toddler Onboard
While this footage may look like something from GTA V, it is indeed real. It shows 32-year-old Tania Chikwature blasting past a lorry in her Nissan Qashqai near Peterborough last December, before ploughing straight into roundabout. She hit it with such force that her car was launched 14 foot in the air.
She was three times over the drink drive limit at the time, and had her 20-month-old son in the back. Oh, and a bottle of vodka was milling around the cabin too.
Naturally, the authorities took a dim view, and yesterday Chikwature was jailed for 26 weeks after admitting she was drunk behind the wheel. The silver lining is that her young son was unhurt, while Chikwature herself suffered only minor injuries.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

ONLY 26 weeks in jail….
Welcome to the UK justice system everyone.
What Qaind of mother would do this?

In her mind…….
“At the next roundabout, go straight ahead”
Gotta go fast
Do you remember the Nissan Qashqai commercial? Nailed it!
GTA V Drunk let’s play #1 Flipping Hell!
(Seriously though,26 weeks is far too lenient for such an incident that could have killed her child)
Thank God for the strength and safety of modern cars (and child seats, likely). It’s such a relief the child escaped unhurt.
