Former host of Top Gear James May was caught in a driving mishap today (June 3) after reversing his Land Rover into a fence.

The Grand Tour star has always faced teases from his co-host Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond over his cautious driving and now ‘Captain Slow’ May, has admitted that even he makes driving mistakes.

Taking to Twitter to share his accident, May shared: “I just reversed my Land Rover into a man’s fence, broke it, and he hadn’t even finished building it yet.

“He was surprisingly decent about it all.”
