'When you have no control over the speed and you're completely stuck inside it's terrifying'

My washing machine does that; cars are meant to run on petrol.

Sounds a bit suspect to me, an electric mg would have gone flat after 5 minutes

Must be true, the press aren't allowed to lie, are they?

Looks like it happened in North Wales, so the 30 mph crash must now be classed as a high speed crash.

"A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 10.35pm on Sunday, 1 October, we received a report of a driver unable to stop his electric car on the A803 heading towards Kirkintilloch"

That should narrow it down a bit.

I know what that guy feels like.

Today, on the way to screwfix to pick up some hinges, I had no control over my normally well behaved merc gla. It went quite a distance reving its nuts off in first gear. Then went round a roundabout at 20mph in 6th and then, on the way home it went most of the way on the dual carriageway with the indicator flashing right before using the wipers to indicate a smart left turn onto my drive.

I thought the car was possessed - then i remembered that I was in the passenger seat and the missus was driving my car for the first time.
