Episode 11 Near Misses, Crashes & Tangents

7 Apr 2026 · 1 h 03 min · Episode 11 · Explicit

Most of us think we’re decent drivers… until something nearly goes very, very wrong.

This week we’re getting into the stupidest near-misses, close calls, and moments that should’ve ended way worse than they did — from quad bike chaos to cars nearly ending up in ditches (and sometimes actually doing it).

We’re talking:

• near crashes that still don’t make sense • accidental street races • dodgy decisions behind the wheel • and how some of us genuinely shouldn’t have a licence

We also get into underrated cars like the Legnum, the K11 Micra, MX-5s, and the reality of buying cheap cars that somehow stay alive out of pure spite.

It’s chaos, it’s questionable decision-making, and it’s painfully relatable if you’ve ever tried to look cool behind the wheel and nearly binned it instead.

Hit play — you’ll either feel better about your own driving… or worse.
