“She almost hit you, bro,” Another witness in a Toyota Sienna says. “She was driving 80!”
The driver then pans over to the rear of her Audi showing another blown tyre as the woman claimed her “brake did not stop.”
In a follow up clip, Irvine police are seen arriving at the scene shortly after in which the woman was taken into custody.
The wild clip drew a mixed reaction from online petrolheads who believed her brake must have seized and caused her tyre to grind to its cords, eventually going flat.
However, others labelled the driving as “terrifying,” admitting that the incident must have been scary for all involved.
“Damn. Damn damn damn. Lucky she didn’t kill someone”, one wrote.
“That's quite a show. I wonder if she was running from someone or why would she be driving 80mph on 3 tires, tailgate open, and tire in the trunk,” another wrote.
While a third added: “Absolutely terrifying, I shudder to think how badly this could have ended.”
The incident comes after a terrifying video captured the moment a Nissan Qashqai screamed down the fast lane of the M6 on the wrong side.
The black Qashqai was driving south on the northbound carriageway when spotted.
