Brake failure forces driver to 125mph

%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%Frenchman Franck Lecerf was forced to career across northern France and into Belgium at 125mph after the brakes failed on his Renault Laguna 3 last Saturday.

Lecerf, 36, was only planning to go to his local supermarket, but ended up on a white-knuckle ride during which he saw "his life flash before his eyes".
