Driving on the eastern side of the M60 anti-clockwise at 7:40am on the fast lane. An Audi A4 estate comes into the fast lane just ahead doing about 90-95mph. 20 seconds later I see some rubber and granular debris flying up about 10 metres into the air. Luckily the guy just behind him slows right down to about 50mph, then I see a full tyre rolling and bouncing just in front of me and missing me by a few cm. The A4 manages to slow down and drag itself onto the hard shoulder. Phew that was a lucky escape for all of us.
