Default Sorry sight this evening
Was on the A64 Leeds to York at 6:30 this evening in my V70 with full family on board.

I spotted standing water in the outside lane in front of me and immediately thought of my S and the stories of aquaplaning.

Seconds later I noticed a Silverstone S on the slip road to the left - front smashed in and a tow truck alongside.

I was well phased by that!

Be careful all.

A64? York Road? I used to work near there (Harehills).

Well at least it sounds like the driver was OK.

I was out in the downpour earlier, if you drive sensibly then the S is no problem.
