Related: About this forumBritish tank crushes German teenage learner's car
A learner driver in Germany had a narrow escape on Monday when her car was crushed by a British tank.
The 18-year-old driver made the mistake of turning into a column of British tanks that were travelling through the small town of Augustdorf.
The British soldier at the controls of the tank behind her had no time to stop, but managed to turn so that he crushed the engine of the car, just avoiding the driver.
..
The name of the road could have provided the young driver with a clue: Panzerringstrasse translates as Tank Ring Road.
