I got just behind it in the outside lane and the rope snapped that was holing the metal stips in place so instant reaction floor it and hang on

In the moment I just kept going and in the rear view saw the metal stripping flying all over the place. I couldnt see any accident so didnt stop but I was thankful for the little red box thats plugged in that gave me the additional power.

Holy shit mate, lucky escape!
