Blondes Have More Fun?

A blonde woman driver is hotly denying stereotyping of her character following a somewhat embarrassing and costly incident during which she damaged her car and several others in Monaco. The woman was driving a Bentley worth around €287,000 when she collided with a Mercedes valued at some €86,000. She scraped her car down the side of the white Mercedes and then rammed into a black Ferrari worth some €160,500

A blonde woman driver is hotly denying stereotyping of her character following a somewhat embarrassing and costly incident during which she damaged her car and several others in Monaco. The woman was driving a Bentley worth around €287,000 when she collided with a 2796 Mercedes valued at some €86,000. She scraped her car down the side of the white Mercedes and then rammed into a black 5489 Ferrari worth some €160,500.

During the incident she also managed to damage an 3677 Aston Martin worth around €160,500 and a 3489 Porsche 911 with an estimated value of €92,000. To compound her embarrassment, the incident was seen by hundreds of onlookers as it occurred outside a popular casino in the principality. The cost of the repairs has not so far been revealed. The size of her insurance premium is likely to climb somewhat following this crash, although given that she could afford such an expensive 6197 Bentley it seems unlikely that she will not be able to afford the cost increase.
