Was on the A1(M) went to overtake a truck and noticed something in the road (i think it was a lump of wood) Braked hard and hit it at about 45-55mph.
I pulled onto the hard shoulder behind someone else who had hit it (i thought id been lucky - he had a flat tyre i didnt) couldnt see any damage to the car so went home.
this morning i found the front drivers side tyre completely flat and the bumper and foglight mullered

gutted for you mate but it could have been a lot worse if you had hit that at 70mph.
hope you get it sorted
