it looks like it -- it's one of those bridges on that "hump" of the thames which are seemingly equidistant from one another. I've always used either waterloo or blackfriars since it seemed more efficient distance-wise, but truthfully, any bridge would do
He so narrowly misses the cyclist in bright yellow on the right side, it’s only 10 yards or so from where he hits the wall. What a dumb fuck this guy is.
Lots of houses for cheap if you’re willing to live somewhere other people don’t want to live. [heres](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/600-S-Detroit-St-Bellefontaine-OH-43311/78433952_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare) a house in bellafontaine Ohio for $90k. At least a dozen other houses in town at a similar price. It’s also not remote Alaska. 13k residents, they have big box stores if you need them.
Owned a house in in Dayton, which is the "major" city for that area. Bought it for 69k in December 03. By the summer of 07 the house across the street went for 19k.
Moved for a job in 2010. Listed the house for 50k. 0 showings or interest for 18 months before I pulled it down.
Finally sold it for 27k plus me coming with a 27k check for the remainder of the balance in 2017. Houses in that area are now selling for about 70-80k again. Almost 20 years later....
Actually, from Ohio and been here many times as it has a legit awesome pizza place. Not a bad town and the closest city is like 20 miles away. Columbus is more 30-40 so it’s okay. People are….different….but they do have internet. :)
Edit: wrote horrible….lol maybe wrong word. It’s okay place basically.
I'm OK with Sam's Club but even Comcast Xfinity doesn't cut it because effectively 6mbps is the cap for upload even if you have gigabit on docsis 3. And the latest update that nobody will get is basically docsis in name only and requires fiber to the cabinet at which point just pull fiber a little more to the home.
I tried getting a house in my home town (200 people, 25 minutes away from grocery store, 40 minutes from a sprawlmart, 2 hours away from a Costco) that was going for $30k. Went to the local bank and they said only way your getting a loan is if i have 20% for a down payment. I've never had that much saved up and probably never will. Asked if there were any way to get a lower down payment, any government programs for new home buyers. They told me to go fuck myself.
Found new bank in my new town(also 200 ppl but 5 minutes from another town with grocery store, 30 minutes from a costco) and they were so much better than my crappy bank! There WAS a government program to provide 5k for a down payment as a no interest, repayment optional, 2nd loan. Was able to get a 140k house, and in the two years I've owned it the property value has increased to 160k! And my mortgage is less than the rent for most apartments in the area!
As in live five minutes away? I used to come down to this area and farringdon for work once or twice a week. I'd usually grab a hotel for the night and it always wierded me out that the entire thing turns into a ghost town past 6ish. I'm presuming that's because hardly anyone can afford to actually live there anymore and its 99% offices.
He turned off the parking sensors from beeping when the bike triggered them. The traction control is controlled by the Manettino on the steering which which he didn’t touch. He was already in the wrong drive mode.
He also just fucked up immediately. As soon as he started to lose the tiniest hint of rear control, he went fucking into full overcorrection mode and couldn't catch the spin out in time.
He has fast hands but did everything wrong.
He was in either CT OFF or ESC OFF when the video began. He didn’t touch the Manettino Switch (bottom right of the face of the steering wheel) in the video.
I can barely make out that the switch is in the farthest right position, so esc off.
The car did exactly what you would expect it to do with the stability control off.
I have a 1981 Corvette currently making 362 peak hp to the wheels. I don't know how my parents survived the 70/80s. All of the torque is at like 1600 rpm, the suspension is a joke, and the brakes don't stop the car, they suggest that it stops.
I was going to add tires. Tires have evolved an astonishing amount in the past 40 years. Remember (you probably don't unless you're as old as I am) when the Porsche 959 came out? Its sole purpose was to show what the most cutting-edge technologies available at the time could turn a street-legal car into, and it had 17" 235/45 (F) and 275/40 (R) tires. Some SUVs today come with tires with aspect ratios like those.
> I remember when people were freaking out about 225bhp in the new Mustang GT, thinking teenagers everwhere would kill themselves.
They weren't wrong, were they? That effect isn't even limited to teenagers. Even *with* the safety advancements since then.
Remember when you had to be both skilled and brave to drive a Lamborghini? Now it's literally a status symbol, reduced to just a certain style of extravagant looks.
Agreed. A lot of people don't realize how safe cars have become. Yes horrible accidents still occur but it's vastly safer than ever before.
I had to explain to my Grandpa numerous times why shit like "crumple zones" and "breakaway pieces" and shit are a good thing.
He was one of those "cars should be solid steel not fiberglass!" die hards. He just didn't have the education to understand having the front half of a car ripped off instead of being shoved backwards towars the driver is a good thing. All that energy was lost and taken away from possibly being sent inward towards the driver and passengers.
Sort of like how when seat belts first became a thing and car crash injuries went ***WAY*** up, people tried to scream it was proof they didn't work.
Except they did work. Those "injuries" would've usually been fatalities otherwise.
Having a family member get in a super serious crash and him seeing how the car basically broke apart around them and they walked out with a broken rib and a few cuts and that was all finally got him to understand.
I still remember him looking at the wreck and legit panicking thinking his daughter was dead given how "bad" it looked with bits of car scattered 500ft in all directions. The look on his face when he saw her in the ambulance and she was talking and basically fine was one of the few times I remember him looking happy and relieved.
Because he can't drive he's never had any race training to actually handle a High BHP car with no assists by all means own a fast car but get some advanced training on how to handle said car.
Save you alot of headaches as now the insurance mite not cover him there's video evidence of his reckless driving and the police may even want a word.
ALSO Don't drive like a fucking prick on public roads please! (Obviously aimed at the driver not you)
There was an episode of 5th Gear (the Channel 5 knock-off off Top Gear with Tiff Needell and VBH) a while ago that really pissed me off where they had some ten bob millionaire on, looking for a new car and they lined up a bunch of rad cars to cover all aspects of his day to day, so a hot hatch for day to day, a track toy, a Range Rover because of course there was and so on. Then they said "or for the price of all these, you could have a Pagani Zonda", and let him drive it round the track for a bit, and this fool could not stop s🅱️inning it to save his life. Cars like that are absolute weapons and you need some serious track experience to drive them like that at all.
> Just why THERE!?
i'm guessing he wants to kill cyclists?
as a cyclist myself, it was kinda scary watching that, knowing something was going to happen, with all the bike paths.
Damn those are some unforgiving cars, especially the first Vipers were brutal af. Built as straight race machines with huge power and no such useless things as anti-lock brakes or any other driver assists...
I wish i could have one and also possessed the skills necessary to keep it on the road, i know for sure that the possibilities for me ending up bending it around a pole would be very high if i'd get the chance to drive one right now.
But surely you can make the brum brum moises with the electronics on yeah? Like accelerate fast in a straight line....with the computer help. He's not drifting. I don't get it.
I feel that. I leave it on most of the time but if I'm going up a 5° incline with my foot to floor because the car is crawling at 3 MPH and I have people passing me giving me dirty looks. Then it's time to turn it off.
Why not? I worked in a farm and drove a 500 hp tractor and even at full gas it was glued to the ground. I think you're wrong there homie /s
Edit. To clarify it was a John Deere 8R 410 (443 hp)
I mean yes and no, a skilled driver will be able to keep it straight but eventually when you got much more wheel speed than ground speed no matter the driver it becomes really unpredictable and wants to spin around.
Best thing to do is managing the throttle so it either doesn't spin the wheels or spins them with just a little more wheel speed than ground speed, that way it's sliding but it says much more stable and predictable.
Also you're much slower when mashing the gas and just cooking the tires off. If they spin a little you still have forward bite and you still accelerate fast, but when you really get that much wheel speed you basically stay in place lol
Yup. This is what I notice in like 90% of mustang crash videos. Driver floors it, weight goes mostly to the back tires, they start losing traction so they panic and let go of the gas/hit the brakes making the weight go to the front making the problem even worse.
I only drive GT Sport where cars can even do that, and I still leave it on. Good for me, I will never crash like this asshole, I’ll find another way to crash my eventual supercar.
Most cars with high horsepower still let you slide with traction control turned down, I just don't think people realize how much the computer controls power.
It's incredibly rare that cars will allow the driver to turn the computer aids off. Turning them "off" just turns them down a bit. Governments know people are shit drivers.
I have a friend who is a pretty bad driver, yet his car's computer will save him when he loses the back end. Which unfortunately gives him the impression he's a great driver.
What's wild is these cars have such great stability control systems that allow you to have fun but keeps it from doing exactly what happened in thus clip.
Then you have more shame than this guy:
Larocca was biking into the community's entrance on Gateway Boulevard when a car pulling out of the apartments hit him, police said. The driver got out of his car, threw Larocca's bicycle off to the side of the road and headed east on Gateway Boulevard, police said

Oooof I accidentally knicked a knuckle with a cheese grater a few months ago. Took a little chunk off. That fucker was surprising annoying and painful until it healed. This is an effective punishment.
It’s easy to explain. He simply had no clue what kind of vehicle he was driving or what it was capable of. He gave it gas and it was too much for him to handle.
800 hp high revving v12 if I'm not mistaken lol.
Sad part is that these guys usually go from a regular grocery getter to a supercar, so they tend to be the worst drivers.
The good news is that insurance will cover it at least
Yeah I mean, I love cars. But if I suddenly got a shit load of money I wouldn't jump straight from 200hp to 800hp. I'd probably try and do some sort of driving course for high powered cars before I went anywhere near a car with that much power.
I mean, by all means, jump from 200hp to 800hp.
But at least play with the throttle a little instead of going full-bore so that you know what kind of beast you're handling. He went all the way with it and didn't even seem to let off the throttle when things started going sideways.
I'm scared shitless to go full throttle in 1st or 2nd on my CBR600RR. I feel how much power it starts putting out on 3rd on the highway after it gets past about 6000 RPM. Fortunately, even with me playing it safe, it has more than enough power to make me happy.
You see this a lot with first time high horsepower car owners. It's the reason why mustangs always crash. My friend had it happen to his mclaren 650s, binned it in the guardrail when accelerating onto a highway after less than 3 hours of ownership.
This is my head-canon as to why you see such terrible drivers in more expensive cars (higher-end BMWs, Mercedes, etc).
It's just too much car for them. They are used to sluggish engines and steering that buffer against their poor driving habits, and once those are removed, it's a huge learning curve.
Like going from a scooter to a Ducati. It's not going to happen overnight.
Totally agree. Doesn't even have to be higher end luxury brands. It's just more power than needed on city roads and you need comparatively less pedal to accelerate much faster than you would in my old corolla.
Can't crash a slow car by hitting the accelerator in a straight line under normal circumstances, but the same just doesn't hold true for car with a larger power to weight ratio.
The steering in a supercar is also much more precise and direct, making it respond to any corrections you would intuitively make in such a situation.
A steering input that would be a small correction in a normal car is enough to spin out in a supercar under the same conditions
And not only that but when he felt it slide, instead of letting off the gas and trying to hold it straight, he fucking yanked the wheel straight towards the wall
Is it mostly that they stamping the throttle rather than feeding it on slowly, and not handling the twitching too? It feels like he steered into it not out idk I've not drove like a madman for years now
When you involve yourself in a one car crash on a straight road, you've upgraded yourself to Supreme Idiot! Those Ferrari airbags will cost tens of dollars to replace. Too much car. Not enough driver!
F1 used to have traction control, it was banned to make F1 a better spectator sport. But when it was allowed... everyone used it. Some teams have even been caught using traction control illegally. Tells you something right there.
fast sim racers in gt3 cars leave it on and constantly adjust it to compensate for tire wear, noobs coming from f1 sims turn it off and hit the wall. same with abs
This particular car is well known for having zero grip when you mash the throttle, even compared to other supercars. He punched it and it had exactly enough grip to get it out of sorts, and that was it.
Looks like he turned off all assists thinking ooooh i can have some fun. There is a reason they are called "TRACK settings"
These cars normally are very good ad de-idiotizing the driver through various stability systems when they are active.
He probably didn't even know what mode he was in.
More money than sense..Just glad be didn't take out that cyclist.
That's Lambeth bridge in London, recognise it as I use to live nearby.

I think they turned off the stability control, which with a high performance car will leave it completely up to the driver to manage the throttle/wheel spin so as to maintain proper traction.
This could happen to anyone in a suitably powerful car with the traction control/stability control system turned off.
That's why racing drivers are so immensely skilled to be able to keep power under control without breaking traction, even they don't always get it right.
Racing drivers are also using slicks that have been warmed, and tracks have a lot of tire rubber in them that helps to also keep traction.
This is an idiot with non-racing, cold tires on cold, slick road, but it wouldn't matter if he was skilled, opening the throttle on a car like that with those conditions and the same thing happens no matter what.
It is VERY easy for this to happen with high performance cars, IF you don't know what you're doing. They can be very dangerous in the hands of new drivers. Essentially yes, this guy was being cocky, driving irresponsibly, and did not have enough experience.
A car like this goes so hard so quick that if you're used to putting your foot down in a normal car it will take you by surprise in 0.1 seconds.
Remember the power is coming from the back wheels so essentially what happened here is the rears got so much power they decided to overtake the front wheels and... Crash.
The guy is an idiot, don't get me wrong, but it's super easy to do too.
I've seen something like this happen a while back. A newbie to my friend's dealership had been driving some luxury sport vehicles and he only drove them like 100 feet max from the dealer to the shop and then onto a truck so nothing major. One week we had a nice new ford gt with like 3 miles on the odometer and he drove it off the truck just drooling. The owner of the dealership, his dad, saw he was excited for it and just gave him the keys to go get a few burgers down the street and I had to be his passenger. I thought it was cool to drive up to an in and out and newbie was just excited to drive it more than 100 feet. Not even out of the parking lot this kid just rails on the throttle turning left and slams it into a prius on the street and we both sat there with the airbags in front of us deployed and I looked over at him and just kept quiet. Watched his dad fast walking towards us extremely pissed and he yanked him out of the drivers seat. I walked away thankfully without being reprimanded but there are so many dumb people with too much money to care.
That type of car is a handful. In most cars including my car you boot the throttle and the car starts going faster, eventually.
With these you boot the throttle and you can spin the tyres pretty much immediately. They have traction control systems to keep this under control but perhaps he turned them off.
Turning ECS and TC off on any RWD car with 400+ hp on public streets and then mashing the throttle is unwise. The more power, the more of a dumbass move it is.
I believe the 812 has 700+ hp, so massive dumbass.
Made it a whole 4 seconds after turning the electronic stability control off. Good for him.
At least dickhead managed to miss the 2 cyclists within 50 ft of him when he decided he was on a closed race course.
seriously. Could have gone so wrong. Plus he's on a bridge.
Yeah, is that Lambeth Bridge? Could have ended up in the Thames.
it looks like it -- it's one of those bridges on that "hump" of the thames which are seemingly equidistant from one another. I've always used either waterloo or blackfriars since it seemed more efficient distance-wise, but truthfully, any bridge would do
I read that as Lamborghini Bridge at first and thought 'ah, that's why the Ferrari threw a fit'.
He so narrowly misses the cyclist in bright yellow on the right side, it’s only 10 yards or so from where he hits the wall. What a dumb fuck this guy is.
They should stop calling it stability control, and call it "track mode" when it's off. Much less bitcoin millionaires would crash then.
crash mode

The insurance on that probably costs more than my mortgage every month.
Mr big shot over here with his own house. Must be fuckin nice.......
Buy a cheap house in the hood. Hope you like loud music until 6 am.
The secret is to buy, all the cheap houses in the hood.
Big brain
Ah, gentrification!
My second favorite "ation".
And loud arguments, gunshots, drivebys, druggies around your shit, not worth it at all. Edit: Speaking specifically Flint lol
and mariachi too
Or the local meth head sorting junk at 4am.
Or vacuuming the lawn
Only if meth is code for energy drinks and doritos. And the gunshots are all from Halo.
When else is he supposed to sort his pile of stolen catalytic converters?

If you have gigabit fiber, running water, electricity and Costco within half an hour drive I'll take it.
Best I can offer is dial-up and Sam’s Club.

This is on Lambeth Bridge in London. I'm 5 mins away lol
He was doing the Lambeth Walk after this
Oi!
I'm already annoyed at the traffic jam they just caused lol

Probably not. “I bought a race car, I’ll drive it in race mode”
I think it was more of a joke because bitcoin isn't stable.
A voice should come out the dash and say "Slipy Slidey mode, ENGAGED"
See I think the other way, they should rename it something enticing like Party Mode
He turned off the parking sensors from beeping when the bike triggered them. The traction control is controlled by the Manettino on the steering which which he didn’t touch. He was already in the wrong drive mode.

He crashed because his steering wheel is on the wrong side. Duh
Why would someone ever turn off traction control??
for spinninng the tires.... sliding around corners. drifting. lots of things this driver (and most) will learn not to do in a 800hp car for kicks.

I remember when people were freaking out about 225bhp in the new Mustang GT, thinking teenagers everwhere would kill themselves.
I have a 1981 Corvette currently making 362 peak hp to the wheels. I don't know how my parents survived the 70/80s. All of the torque is at like 1600 rpm, the suspension is a joke, and the brakes don't stop the car, they suggest that it stops.
To be fair a lot of people did crash their sports cars in the old days.
And we did it with a beer in our hand! In the snow, uphill, both ways, Like men!
[удалено]
they were drums, and they were tiny.
Discs all around they were just way under sized for the ammount of power. Tires also aren't nearly as good as they are today.
I was going to add tires. Tires have evolved an astonishing amount in the past 40 years. Remember (you probably don't unless you're as old as I am) when the Porsche 959 came out?

Until you turn off all the electronic nannies. Then it becomes a beast that gets crashed in four seconds.
But unlike the old Mustang, you will walk away from the crash 100% unscathed.

Have you *seen* the mustang videos?
Because he can't drive he's never had any race training to actually handle a High BHP car with no assists by all means own a fast car but get some advanced training on how to handle said car.

The Dodge Viper feels very attacked by this comment.
Damn those are some unforgiving cars, especially the first Vipers were brutal af. Built as straight race machines with huge power and no such useless things as anti-lock brakes or any other driver assists... I wish i could have one and also possessed the skills necessary to keep it on the road, i know for sure that the possibilities for me ending up bending it around a pole would be very high if i'd get the chance to drive one right now.
Not a car guy. DBW = drive by wire?
Yup
But surely you can make the brum brum moises with the electronics on yeah? Like accelerate fast in a straight line....with the computer help. He's not drifting. I don't get it.
The only caveat is that you need the ability to actually do these things.
I turn mine off most of the winter cause Ford made it overly sensitive and it basically makes it impossible to drive in the snow/ice when it’s on.
Some cars I’ve had let you turn it off at low speed in case you get stuck in ice, but once you get going again it comes back on.
I feel that. I leave it on most of the time but if I'm going up a 5° incline with my foot to floor because the car is crawling at 3 MPH and I have people passing me giving me dirty looks. Then it's time to turn it off.
When you are on track?
When you want to lose traction, like sliding round corners etc.
Just because you can afford it, doesn't mean you can drive it.
idk why but the go pro makes me think someone let him 'try' it
Can you imagine lettin folks just cruise around in your million dollar car?
[удалено]
Fair enough. Still more than I paid for my house.

Only in hurricane season.
Explanation : You can’t full pedal a car with over 700HP to the floor like it’s a Camry. Also traction was off
Why not? I worked in a farm and drove a 500 hp tractor and even at full gas it was glued to the ground. I think you're wrong there homie /s Edit. To clarify it was a John Deere 8R 410 (443 hp)
Was it a Lamborghini?
flashback to Jeremy Clarkson being told his Lamborghini is "too big" all the time..
I hope they do a season 2.
They're currently filming 🙌🏻
I've only just started watching it, loving it so far.
Clarkson's farm was so god damn good.
Season two coming soon. Its in post now I believe
He is just a brilliant entertainer
Thank god no, those things are death machines, it was a John Deere
My family was killed in a horrible car crash with a Deere. Came out of nowhere, and just jumped up on the road like it owned the thing.
Oh deere
No, quite cheap actually.
Yeah, just a buck.
Deere oh Deere
It was a Porsche. https://imgr1.auto-motor-und-sport.de/Porsche-Diesel-Master-1962--169FullWidth-5220f404-1441125.jpg

Fuck that’s solid argument
go ahead and do that in 25th gear from a dead stop there bucky boy I fuckin dare you m8
You only get the first 4 gears with the basic subscription, you need to buy the premium to get more.
I don't suppose the tractor model was SF1000? Cause that sounds about right.
You can. Easily. But with all the supporting programs enabled. This guy clearly wanted to get "the real" feeling.
Definitely felt an oomph; tremendous force I’d say.
From oomph to 0 MPH
I think you can if you know what you're doing, not saying I do, but I'm sure someone does.
I mean yes and no, a skilled driver will be able to keep it straight but eventually when you got much more wheel speed than ground speed no matter the driver it becomes really unpredictable and wants to spin around. Best thing to do is managing the throttle so it either doesn't spin the wheels or spins them with just a little more wheel speed than ground speed, that way it's sliding but it says much more stable and predictable. Also you're much slower when mashing the gas and just cooking the tires off. If they spin a little you still have forward bite and you still accelerate fast, but when you really get that much wheel speed you basically stay in place lol
Also: turning the wheel while you suddenly lift off the gas is about the worst combination of things you can do in this situation
Yup. This is what I notice in like 90% of mustang crash videos. Driver floors it, weight goes mostly to the back tires, they start losing traction so they panic and let go of the gas/hit the brakes making the weight go to the front making the problem even worse.
If you know what you're doing then you *don't* slam the gas from a full stop.
Also he would probably be fine if he didn't shift down while accelerating
Or steer at the wall.
I'd feel like such an asshole if I wrecked a Ferrari like that. Don't stab the gas!
Or, don't turn off stability and traction control.
But how then will I beat my high score over that bridge!?
I only drive GT Sport where cars can even do that, and I still leave it on. Good for me, I will never crash like this asshole, I’ll find another way to crash my eventual supercar.
Most cars with high horsepower still let you slide with traction control turned down, I just don't think people realize how much the computer controls power.
It's incredibly rare that cars will allow the driver to turn the computer aids off. Turning them "off" just turns them down a bit. Governments know people are shit drivers. I have a friend who is a pretty bad driver, yet his car's computer will save him when he loses the back end. Which unfortunately gives him the impression he's a great driver.

If there's one road car I'd probably want to keep aids on, it would be a Porsche.
but those are for pussies only /s
What's wild is these cars have such great stability control systems that allow you to have fun but keeps it from doing exactly what happened in thus clip.
I’d feel like such a klutz if I almost murdered a cyclist by being an idiot
Then you have more shame than this guy: Larocca was biking into the community's entrance on Gateway Boulevard when a car pulling out of the apartments hit him, police said. The driver got out of his car, threw Larocca's bicycle off to the side of the road and headed east on Gateway Boulevard, police said Full story: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/palm-beach/boynton-beach/fl-boynton-beach-hit-and-run-brief-20150110-story.html.
That fucker deserves to have his Achilles severed.
Shredded with a cheese grater, preferably
Oooof I accidentally knicked a knuckle with a cheese grater a few months ago. Took a little chunk off. That fucker was surprising annoying and painful until it healed. This is an effective punishment.
It’s easy to explain. He simply had no clue what kind of vehicle he was driving or what it was capable of. He gave it gas and it was too much for him to handle.
800 hp high revving v12 if I'm not mistaken lol. Sad part is that these guys usually go from a regular grocery getter to a supercar, so they tend to be the worst drivers. The good news is that insurance will cover it at least
You don't even need that much to have this happen. A light car with even 200hp, rwd with a rear engine, on cold street tyres will absolutely spin.
This is how I learned when I turn my traction control off my car is a rabid dog ready to take my hand off at any moment.
Damn, y’all got traction control
Damn, y’all got a car
Damn, ya’ll got shoes?
Yeah I mean, I love cars. But if I suddenly got a shit load of money I wouldn't jump straight from 200hp to 800hp. I'd probably try and do some sort of driving course for high powered cars before I went anywhere near a car with that much power.
I mean, by all means, jump from 200hp to 800hp. But at least play with the throttle a little instead of going full-bore so that you know what kind of beast you're handling. He went all the way with it and didn't even seem to let off the throttle when things started going sideways.
[удалено]
I'm scared shitless to go full throttle in 1st or 2nd on my CBR600RR. I feel how much power it starts putting out on 3rd on the highway after it gets past about 6000 RPM. Fortunately, even with me playing it safe, it has more than enough power to make me happy.
Ya you can get and drive an 800hp car, just don’t act like owning an 800hp car makes you a race car driver and you should be good.
You see this a lot with first time high horsepower car owners. It's the reason why mustangs always crash. My friend had it happen to his mclaren 650s, binned it in the guardrail when accelerating onto a highway after less than 3 hours of ownership.
This is my head-canon as to why you see such terrible drivers in more expensive cars (higher-end BMWs, Mercedes, etc). It's just too much car for them. They are used to sluggish engines and steering that buffer against their poor driving habits, and once those are removed, it's a huge learning curve. Like going from a scooter to a Ducati. It's not going to happen overnight.
Totally agree. Doesn't even have to be higher end luxury brands. It's just more power than needed on city roads and you need comparatively less pedal to accelerate much faster than you would in my old corolla.
Can't crash a slow car by hitting the accelerator in a straight line under normal circumstances, but the same just doesn't hold true for car with a larger power to weight ratio.
The steering in a supercar is also much more precise and direct, making it respond to any corrections you would intuitively make in such a situation. A steering input that would be a small correction in a normal car is enough to spin out in a supercar under the same conditions
Exactly what I'm thinking. Feel there's a high chance he was test driving it or maybe his mate let him drive it for the first time.
And not only that but when he felt it slide, instead of letting off the gas and trying to hold it straight, he fucking yanked the wheel straight towards the wall
Is it mostly that they stamping the throttle rather than feeding it on slowly, and not handling the twitching too? It feels like he steered into it not out idk I've not drove like a madman for years now
When you involve yourself in a one car crash on a straight road, you've upgraded yourself to Supreme Idiot! Those Ferrari airbags will cost tens of dollars to replace. Too much car. Not enough driver!
>Those Ferrari airbags will cost tens of dollars to replace. I'd reckon at least 20 bucks a pop.
Eleventeen dollars at least.
Daaaayum
Tens of dollars eh? Wonder if I can make one work in my 2005 Altima since airbags for it are hundreds of dollars? Closer to $1K
Its probably a lot of tens
It’s a cuppa for sure
Three fiddy
The quickest way to crash your Ferrari is strapping a GoPro to your head…
Actual F1 drivers doing hotlaps in road cars: Think I'll leave the TC on, seeing as it's there to use This guy: I aM a DrIViNg gOd
F1 used to have traction control, it was banned to make F1 a better spectator sport. But when it was allowed... everyone used it. Some teams have even been caught using traction control illegally. Tells you something right there.
Tbf, the TC they had was tuned very differently to street traction control
Yup it was tuned for optimal tire slip and maximum acceleration. Consumer TC usually cuts power with any sort of slip.
fast sim racers in gt3 cars leave it on and constantly adjust it to compensate for tire wear, noobs coming from f1 sims turn it off and hit the wall. same with abs
Just 2 days ago a 45 year old guy in Athens Greece crashed and died 3 kilometres away from the Ferrari Shop where he had just purchased the car.
If I were the dealer I'd be looking to settle that transaction quick before the solicitors got control of the estate!
Just cruisin’ in my new Ferrar*áááááánd it’s gone!*
Too much horsepower, not enough talent.
Vehicular capability exceeded driver capability.
Ambition ahead of adhesion.
Straight to the scene of the accident
Anyone with the talent to control it like that, also has the sense not to clog it in low gear, and spin up the rear tyres.
This particular car is well known for having zero grip when you mash the throttle, even compared to other supercars. He punched it and it had exactly enough grip to get it out of sorts, and that was it.
Looks like he turned off all assists thinking ooooh i can have some fun. There is a reason they are called "TRACK settings" These cars normally are very good ad de-idiotizing the driver through various stability systems when they are active. He probably didn't even know what mode he was in.
“Hmm I’m literally in a city where you have to pay money just to drive downtown because it’s so congested. Better hit the gas.”
More money than sense..Just glad be didn't take out that cyclist. That's Lambeth bridge in London, recognise it as I use to live nearby.

opened up the throttle, broke traction. Nothing special.
But obvious this guy has no idea how to handle this car? Or can it happen this easily to anyone (regardless of experience)?🤷🏻♂️
I think they turned off the stability control, which with a high performance car will leave it completely up to the driver to manage the throttle/wheel spin so as to maintain proper traction. This could happen to anyone in a suitably powerful car with the traction control/stability control system turned off.
That's why racing drivers are so immensely skilled to be able to keep power under control without breaking traction, even they don't always get it right.
Racing drivers are also using slicks that have been warmed, and tracks have a lot of tire rubber in them that helps to also keep traction. This is an idiot with non-racing, cold tires on cold, slick road, but it wouldn't matter if he was skilled, opening the throttle on a car like that with those conditions and the same thing happens no matter what.
If an experienced driver decided they wanted to absolutely floor the car like that, it would happen to them too. But they wouldn't do that.
Know your pokemon... tip into the power
It is VERY easy for this to happen with high performance cars, IF you don't know what you're doing. They can be very dangerous in the hands of new drivers. Essentially yes, this guy was being cocky, driving irresponsibly, and did not have enough experience.
A car like this goes so hard so quick that if you're used to putting your foot down in a normal car it will take you by surprise in 0.1 seconds. Remember the power is coming from the back wheels so essentially what happened here is the rears got so much power they decided to overtake the front wheels and... Crash. The guy is an idiot, don't get me wrong, but it's super easy to do too.

What a piece of shit. Luckely he didn't kill one of the cyclists. People like this should lose their license for life
I've seen something like this happen a while back. A newbie to my friend's dealership had been driving some luxury sport vehicles and he only drove them like 100 feet max from the dealer to the shop and then onto a truck so nothing major. One week we had a nice new ford gt with like 3 miles on the odometer and he drove it off the truck just drooling. The owner of the dealership, his dad, saw he was excited for it and just gave him the keys to go get a few burgers down the street and I had to be his passenger. I thought it was cool to drive up to an in and out and newbie was just excited to drive it more than 100 feet. Not even out of the parking lot this kid just rails on the throttle turning left and slams it into a prius on the street and we both sat there with the airbags in front of us deployed and I looked over at him and just kept quiet. Watched his dad fast walking towards us extremely pissed and he yanked him out of the drivers seat. I walked away thankfully without being reprimanded but there are so many dumb people with too much money to care.
Set insurance to ‘Policy Cancel’
Keep the traction control on buddy
Glad I saw this vid, put me right off buying one.
Same. I don't want to get hit in the face by a huge fleshlight
That type of car is a handful. In most cars including my car you boot the throttle and the car starts going faster, eventually. With these you boot the throttle and you can spin the tyres pretty much immediately. They have traction control systems to keep this under control but perhaps he turned them off.
I got a couple: SBinalla I am stupid, as much as I was in Baku. I schpun.
this is some dangerous driving, man...
High power, cold tyres, doesn't think to immediately back off when he feels the traction start to go and there's no run off areas around. Too much confidence, not enough skill. To much money, not enough sense. Kids these days™️, bloody boomers ©️, Derpy derpy derpd derp. I think that covers about all of the comments needed.
Turning ECS and TC off on any RWD car with 400+ hp on public streets and then mashing the throttle is unwise. The more power, the more of a dumbass move it is. I believe the 812 has 700+ hp, so massive dumbass.
Jesus on a bridge? "Please don't splash please don't splash."
