Typical, just when you don't need it, you've got to get someplace in a hurry then whammo! You get a stone through the windscreen...!

....err...only it's not a stone..it appears to be a disc brake pad that's become detached from a truck! Biglorryblog's travelling cloggie Tim de Jong has sent me this and says: "Hi Brian, here's a couple of shots I got from one of my people from the network. It appears that somewhere in Hungary a car driver was unpleasantly surprised by an unwanted visitor, a brake lining from a trailer!"

Tim adds; " The guy driving the Ford must have been awfully lucky that the lining sought it's way into the dashboard. The car came to a halt safely and the driver remained unhurt. No one knows however what happened to the trailer this lining came from. What happened to it? What happened to the other brake linings?"

"Luckily, the Ford Mondeo proves to have a brake lining proof dash, absorbing this unwanted guest and protecting it's driver without having to inflate all sorts if airbags...Regards, Tim." Well you never know Tim, they might notice it's missing at the trailer's next service...assuming it's ever serviced.....
