VIDEO: Super expensive supercar accidents

Some people should just never buy a so-called ‘supercar’ because they simply can’t – or won’t - control it on the road. As this video shows, money is no indicator of brains, let alone driving ability. Whether it’s a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce, they all crumple as if they were a lowly family sedan. It just costs a little more to put expensive vehicles back together again, if at all physically possible. And some of these examples in the video will never be back on the road. Neither should their driver

As someone who provided evidence to the committee, I don’t need convincing that the use of a mobile device while controlling a vehicle is something that must be considered

    An Austrian artist named Hannes Langeder has designed and built a pedal-powered supercar, which he calls the Fahrradi Farfalla FX. The man previously built what he described as the world’s slowest Porsche, another pedal-powered creation. Designed to be pedalled by two, his new vehicle’s styling has been influenced by various Ferrari models and features gull wing type doors.

    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result from the first attempt. That goes for some people who wish to put petrol in their car but don’t quite get the spatial thing, as this video shows.
