I was overtaking an escort on the way home for work this afternoon and I noticed his rear tyre was totally flat, just as I was along side him the tyre blew out and rubber flew everywhere! Lucky it was his rear tyre otherwise I suspect he may have hit me, bloody escort drivers! Either he was incredibly stupid or he knew dam well his tyre was flat, you can't just not know unless you are thick surely!

Or irresponsible?
