A multi-millionaire now has video evidence of his driving deficiencies following his performance during a race at the famous Monza track. The man struggled to control the high performance 5489 Ferrari, as he slid off the circuit and into the gravel traps placed on the curves for safety. At one point, the man came close to colliding with another racer as he rejoined the race, following one foray off the track. Fortunately for everyone concerned, the car eventually sustained damage from the gravel and this resulted in tyre failure, so the driver had to slowly limp his vehicle back into the pits and retire from the race. The sports commentators however were unable to retrain their mirth at the man’s plight, suggesting he take up off-road racing or go-karting instead.

    The authorities in Lithuania have installed up to 150 speed cameras to help monitor drivers on the country’s road network. This system has proven effective at encouraging locals to respect speed limits, but foreign drivers are not always aware of the speed restrictions and often leave the country before the authorities are able to catch them. With only a number of Lithuania’s neighbouring countries having bilateral agreements over driving offences, this means some drivers escape without charge.
