Lorraine Lester, who lives just past the brow of a hill on Hollow Head Lane outside Blackburn, has long been bothered by snap-happy boy racers who like to use the rise as a glorified ramp.
While one of the young drivers accelerates towards the brow of the hill, the others lie in wait with cameras and camera phones, disturbing the unfortunate Ms Lester.
They're waiting for the glorious moment when all four wheels leave the tarmac, known as "taking off", to take a picture that now graces the photo albums of many local boy-racers.
But thanks to 20-year-old Oliver Beadle, Ms Lester now has another problem to deal with besides hordes of teenage paps crowding her front garden: she needs a new garden wall.
Beadle, who will never see cheap car insurance again and may not see daylight for some time if Blackburn magistrates have their way, was speeding towards the rise with three friends when the accident happened.
His front-seat passenger, a 17-year-old not far off passing his driving test, noticed a deathly hush descend over the car on the approach. Beadle steered into the middle of the road and had accelerated to about 60mph when he reached the brow of the hill.
But calamity was waiting of the other side. As Catherine Allen, prosecuting, said later in court "As they went over the brow all four wheels left the road and at the same moment the passenger saw another car coming towards them.
"Beadle's efforts to avoid the approaching vehicle sent his own car into a spin and ended-up colliding with Ms Lester's wall.
Two of his passengers were taken to the Royal Preston Hospital with serious injuries. Fittingly enough they were air-lifted, by emergency helicopter.
Later in court, Beadle pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving without young driver car insurance. He has been warned him to expect a custodial sentence.
Mike Page, spokesperson for the cheap car insurance champions at Hoot and disputed inventor of the flux capacitor, said "This all sounds like something out of Back to the Future - who knows what would have happened had he reached 88mph?
But seriously, what Beadle did was reckless and stupid - especially with impressionable passengers who would most likely have copied the stunt later had he pulled it off.
"The courts and motor insurance companies will make sure he doesn't get back behind the wheel - at least not legally - for a good many years."
