This could have been a lot worse…

When you’re speeding along in an old car on a bendy rural road, you’re just asking for trouble.

This footage captured on a dashcam by was recorded by British YouTuber Kookoocachu last week, and shows a Citreon Saxo having a very close call on the road.

In the footage, brought to our attention by Mashable, the driver is driving down the road at 60mph when she’s overtaken by the Saxo.

The car is travelling at high speed when it rounds the corner and the driver loses control of his vehicle.

The uploader alleges that the man was under the influence of substances that affected his driving.

She reported the man to the police but he drove off.
