Nearly hit by another Motorhome

[Swifter]

Traveling at the weekend we were nearly hit by a Hymer driving at high speed and almost losing control when coming towards us .
I’ve just watched the Dash cam footage ,doesn’t look as bad as it did when it happened but still very worrying .

If you had just stolen it you would not want to hang around

 

[Phill D]

They almost lost that on the bend... You can see the back start to break then over correction set it off in your direction.
Lucky all round there.

Heavy van being driven beyond the capabilities of the driver plus looks like negative camber. Too close for comfort.!!

 

[Swifter]

I don’t understand why the MOT check comes back as a Fiat 127 car .

I'm not surprised you had a squeaky bum moment.
Everything about it says STOLEN, especially with it being sorned.

 

[Alfie159]

Stolen I suspect hope the poor owner is aware and reported ASAP. Poss from storage and why sworn

[bigtree]

Wouldn’t do any harm to report it and offer the footage.

 

[Ivory55]

If sorned it could of been taken from secure storage place and the owner unaware

Is it on false plates ?

Maybe. But that plate is SORN. So you're drawing attention to yourself that way instead, so it'd be a pretty bad plate to pick.

 

[Otter Spotter]

Please report the incident and give other people a chance, if it’s located and removed off the road it will be safer for everyone.

Most thief's are not the brightest in social.

Are you aware of any storage facilities local to where you were?

No , but there may well be .

Perhaps have a search for any local and giving them a call?

 

[Barclaybasher]

Or stolen of a driveway

 

[Eggs]

Or stolen of a driveway

If it's gone off a driveway someone would know it's missing by now? If it's gone from storage the owner may not be aware. Both assuming it is stolen and not just some tool driving like an idiot.

 

[robrace]

Don’t think Fiat ever made a 127 diesel did they?

 

[Aji]

Could have been heading for Mot etc, required to Tax vehicle.
