Mother Jailed After Drunkenly Launching Nissan Over Roundabout With Toddler Onboard
While this footage may look like something from GTA V, it is indeed real. It shows 32-year-old Tania Chikwature blasting past a lorry in her Nissan Qashqai near Peterborough last December, before ploughing straight into roundabout. She hit it with such force that her car was launched 14 foot in the air.
She was three times over the drink drive limit at the time, and had her 20-month-old son in the back. Oh, and a bottle of vodka was milling around the cabin too.
Naturally, the authorities took a dim view, and yesterday Chikwature was jailed for 26 weeks after admitting she was drunk behind the wheel. The silver lining is that her young son was unhurt, while Chikwature herself suffered only minor injuries.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Yes - roundabout
Where was the other truck driver going? And why doesn’t anyone run to the car to begin with? Did they have to post the jump on Instagram first?
