When you give normal people super cars.
He should have bought driving lessons with the car too.

As opposed to giving abnormal people supercars I presume

Or perhaps, only better than normal people should have a supercar, people like you maybe?

After failing to find any eye bleach................did we ever find out if it was the owner of the 458 involved, or was it being hired out to someone ?

Once its let go however the ESP is almost God-like in collecting the situation, often very quickly.

If the 4 wheels have lost friction then there is nothing the ESP can do, sadly...

The fatal Battersea crash this morning jogged my memory of this crash so looked it up, quite a lenient sentence (and charge) considering how many people were hit.

Not sure how speeding on the motorway with no traffic around can be classified as dangerous yet plowing into seven pedestrians on the pavement only gets a dwdca charge.

OT but it took a while to find the outcome as the EU's 'right to forget' has been used to remove a lot of the articles that actually named the driver so used google.com via vpn rather than Google.co.uk

Wow. If cars are this snappy at 30mph, maybe London should go down to 5mph.

[Downward]

Disgusting sentence.

[Driver101]

That's a seriously lenient punishment.

First time I've seen the outcome too. He's obviously tried hard to get all the stories removed.

Someone who has a Ferrari lives round the corner from my parents. I was walking there the other evening and he came past me with it making a lovely growl one way, then a couple of minutes later going very quickly, so quickly in fact that he couldn’t slow down in time for the turning for his road and had to reverse back up the road a little bit. I love fast cars, the noise, how they look but I just don’t get driving that quick in a 30. You’re putting so many other people’s happiness in danger and for no real reason.

When I was younger, I murdered 4 traffic cones in my sleep when trapped in a contraflow, with nowhere to stop and suddenly falling ill. I basically drove through the cones to escape as I was passing out.

For this act of come genocide I recurved 6 points and something like a £3/400 fine. At the time I just considered that the price you paid. However that week there was a press article regarding a chap who had driven up on a pavement and run over two children walking home from school. He received fewer points and a smaller fine.

It was very weird learning that it is cheaper to hit kids than traffic cones.
