Overtightened wheel bolts...
nearside wheel bolts stripped and all flew off at 70mph (in my last vitara) on the A470
wheel decided it didnt want to be attached to the car any more and wobbled off... in the outside lane at 6pm
rolled up the embankment on the side of the road i calmly pulled over LIKE A BOSS (grayston wheel spacers on the car meant the brake disk was held in place by the extended stud bolts)
Wheel, like something out of laural and hardy, calmly rolled back down the bank and stopped resting against the rear wheel of the car..
left car there, went to see Iron man 3 at the cinema (was only half a mile walk from the car) returned after the film to find 4 coppers stood around the vehicle looking at it, saying they had watched it happen on CCTV and wondered where i had been..
werent happy with the explaination..
