Although, they usually seem to manage to land their chavved-up motors in the nearest ditch before they can cause any serious trouble to local residents. It's quite amusing to see the outcome when some wee ned in his mum's Corsa, who fancies himself as a bit of a rally driver, finds out the hard way that he isn't.
