This Could Be Britain's Luckiest Citroen Saxo Driver

The driver of this old Citroen Saxo must have some fresh underwear on order after coming horribly close to rolling their car over on a country road on the Isle of Wight.

After overtaking the camera car on a straight, the blue Saxo pulls away and attempts to negotiate a right-hander that we suspect was tighter than the driver expected. Lack of good judgment/basic driving skills, etc.

Having got their steering all wrong and probably after lifting off the throttle, the driver loses the back end and swerves into the wrong lane, and when the back end snaps back around, the car clips the dusty verge and launches high up onto two wheels as if it’s a stunt performance.

We suspect luck rather than skill is what stops the teetering car from rolling all the way over onto its roof, and the supermini slams back onto its wheels and gently rolls into a hedge, where it probably stayed until the driver had cleaned up their trouser mess. Better only that than cleaning up bits of the car as well, maybe.
