    Drug driver who caused tractor to smash into homes in UK sentenced
    52-year-old Matthew Cumpsty was given a 12-month community order and banned from driving for 16 months at a court in Chester, UK on July 15 for running a red light and crashing into a tractor on April 1, causing the vehicle to smash into several terraced houses. Cumpsty tested positive for cocaine after the crash. Incredibly, no one was injured.

    So a car tapped the heavy tractor-trailer and caused all that panic.

    In this episode of Cars Behaving Badly, we have a car striking a farm tractor, and not a semi tractor. Bit of a weight difference there.



    The tap probably caused the tractor driver to panic a bit thus sending him off into the nearest house.



    Keep calm and carry on goes boink.
     
    The_vett Thanks this.
