Ace screen versus mobile phone charge at 80mph in the rain!

Post by auditor »

Image
was following a car in the rain at 80mph when it ran over something in the road, the rear wheel flicked it into the air, through my screen, and into my chest. result: broken screen, cracked ribs, lots of swearing.
Tunrned out to be a plug in mobile phone charger!
