Hells bells, and he gets a hand shake from the dealer!

How the hell did he not see that car?!?

The rear view mirror blocks the view from the camera, but that was a straight road right? So it would have been visible for hundreds of yards. (otherwise going that fast into a blind corner is very stupid)

It also didn't seem that that car sneaked out of that construction yard.
But who knows how fast he was going... could have been 150mph or whatever.

Driving like a prick and congratulated by a dozy salesman.

No wonder the roads are so dangerous nowadays !

Having said that - he was lucky not to kill a few folk - so I guess that's a good thing

 

[hopz121]

He was mega lucky!

I agree I don't know how he didn't see the car coming looked to be a straight road!

I think the car may have pulled out on him from the side road on the left just as the dealer started screaming! Obviously going to fast but really the fault lies with the car that pulled out if that was indeed the case!

To be fair, the car pulled out of the gateway to the left - pause the video and advance it slowly looking at the attitude of the vehicle to the road - and was dark coloured in the shadow of the trees. That said, they were clearly travelling way too fast.

That's what I said

I think we agree

 

[thepits]

this is all getting too serious and boring ................... zzzzzzzzzzzz

it's video of a pr4t in a Ferrari driving too fast and over his limit of ability - err that's it, end of.

Z4 drivers would never be that stupid

would they?

Something similar happened quite close to me last year with tragic consequences.

[Bing]

I'm not sure he was past the limit of his abilities - if he was they'd be dead. To be fair he did a good job of getting through that... Though yes, he was going way too fast. Which of course nobody on here would ever do if given the chance to test drive a Ferrari with a salesman who lives going fast :wink:

Lucky but almost a head on with an innocent party.
In countries where there are wild animals sometimes on the road you are advised to hit the animal instead of swerving and possibly hitting another vehicle head on.
That however must take a lot of will power.

Regardless of fault ... well held that man.
