The driver of that car drove it at that speed until it entered the forest because of an intensity of the movement. That is why people said that, “it has eaten wire.”

This saying is equated to a person who uses his things carelessly to point of having problems in his life. Such person uses his property carelessly until he gets into trouble because of lack of attention in his works. He exhausts his possessions until he reaches the point where there is no food in his family because of his lack of attention in his works.
