although he noticed it
Driver (81) drives through the city with his car on fire
An 81-year-old man from Pongau collided with the rear tire of his car with a curb on Alpenstraße in Salzburg City on Thursday. This caused the tire to come off the wheel. However, this did not really bother the driver, who drove on for several hundred meters on the bare rim.
But with serious consequences: The rear brake pads caught fire. But even that didn't bother the man from Pongau when he drove into the ÖAMTC on Alpenstraße.
An employee noticed the fire and rushed to help with a fire extinguisher. The 81-year-old told the police that he had not driven to the ÖAMTC to repair the breakdown, but because of an upcoming journey.
According to the man from Pongau, he was not aware that driving on the bare rim over a longer distance posed a danger to himself and other road users.
The police were not amused by the sprightly senior citizen with fire under his butt and he was reported to the police.
