A lorry and a another car were forced to slam on the brakes as the driver behind the wheel of the Twingo careered into the verge.

“Just drive on as nothing ever happened,” reads one Facebook comment. Another viewer quipped: “Casually put it into second and cruise on as if you took the corner immaculately.”

Mac Autoparts, who captured the close call last month, posted: “Very lucky.”
