Ditched Ferrari

[Smokehead]

Saw this on the A92 going to Kirkcaldy. Dead straight dual carriageway, soaking wet. Must have been a 'watch this' moment.

Ooops, as long as the occupants are okay and nobody got hurt.
Someones had a worse Sunday than me

Two blokes in the car, one young one older. Both standing looking suitably mortified.

Photojournalism is very important. At the time the pic was taken, there was a story to be told.

It's not 'documenting a misfortune' it's recording an event.

If the photographer was not a pher but a respected journalist, would you say the same?

There maybe 50 people who look at the pic posted and think to themselves I must be more careful driving today

OP isn’t a journo, it’s just a typical stty post to take the piss. Sad.

I do beg your pardon. I thought the incident may be of interest to car enthusiasts who would think 'There but for the grace of God, go I'.

This thread reminds me of an argument I had on the TT forum on Fb. A bloke slid in the ice and bent his wheel, a poster responded that he must have a fault as his 4wd TT should not have slid on ice. I tried to explain that 4wd is a traction device and would not help braking on ice....it really kicked off as they could not comprehend that a 4wd is no better than 2wd at cornering and it is just the contact patch of the tyre. They thought that a spinning tyre would go away if you added more throttle.

It seems 4wd has some excellent marketing myths.

Actually, that always amazes me if someone says that. It doesn't matter if the car has air from a 10th Dan sensei's butt in the tyres, the drive train is irrelevant when braking on ice as everything comes down to the tyres ability to adhere to the ice. Anyone who actually has driven downhill on black ice understands (from experience).

I've always said that a few of us may have four wheel drive, but we all have 4 wheel braking.
