A startling video has emerged showing an Audi TT recklessly speeding round a corner on a rural road, and almost paying the price.

Filmed last Thursday afternoon in Wiltshire, the dashcam clip shows the sportscar careering round a tight corner on a country road before losing control and leaving the road.

Somehow, the driver manages to wrestle the car and regain control, averting a serious accident but giving the passengers in the oncoming vehicle quite the fright.
