30 mil is possible the low number you see is the BASIC MODEL..  A lot of goodies would push it past 30 probably

 This is what happens when idiots undertake. The McLaren got what he deserved. As for the pick up he was  watching the Merc in front but as he did not brake and pealed off to the inside the pickup did not see any brake lights, not enough time for him to stop. They were all tailgating as usual.

'Super-cars' are fitted with super carbon fibre brakes so would stop far quicker than a Pickup

Carbon ceramic.

No vehicle like that should be allowed on public roads, only race-tracks 

 

 

There’s no reason for it not to be on the road. It would stop ,corner and handle far better than your vehicle. A moron in a pickup will do far more damage.

I think if he didn't hit the Mc Laren he would of hit the other car 

Pickup put his breaks on way to late 

Would HAVE .....Brakes.

BKK-Chonburi Motorway is a race track most of the time. I traveled it Thursday and had a hard time keeping out of the racers way since they were in all lanes. 140 KPH seems to be the norm except for me.

Unfortunately, it was the pickup that was speeding and couldn’t stop in time.

Ute driver's daddy will not be happy

[Megasin1]

seems that it was a three way race, just that nobody realised the Ferrari Hilux was in the race except for the driver himself ?

[bristolgeoff]

could have being worst just a scratch on the bumper,but this time of day would  have had traffic anywhere.i wonder if he had first class insurance did the rep come out and check out the damage

[Small Joke]

You'd have to have more money than sense, REALLY,  to put a supercar on the world's worst driven roads.

I did the 100'000 km on Thai roads yesterday on one of my cars (can't count the rest since the 80s in Europe).

Again: motorway 7 is not a race track.

You defend nidicolous driving like this and I am afraid you have a license too. Are you Thai?

Let me try and understand what you are saying.  You drove 100,000km on Thai roads yesterday?  Is that correct?

Doubt it. If proven dangerous driving , no ins.

Unfortunately, the pickup hit him. All he is guilty of is speeding.

but the Benz was no match for the "super car".

It looked just like the opposite except that the Benz got lucky and veered to the left through open road.....

Most pick ups are driven with no load in the bed so no real grip at the rear wheels or are overloaded ending up with the front wheels on the verge of waving about in the air. Plus tyre pressures that are way over the limit required.

Interested to know why my post above would confuse anyone.

One of the big mistakes people make is believing that those big chunky tyres they buy and fit to their pick up gives more grip when in fact on the road it means less rubber contact therefore less grip especially on the rear end. They are good if your pickup spends its life in the mud or snow but not on the highway.

Putting maybe 100 to 200 kg in the back over the axle and fixing it so it can't move will improve things a bit but still won't make it perfect.

Never seen a Benz in Thailand that wasn't speeding, Bangkok traffic excepted.

Been driving my Isuzu pick-up for 12 years with no problems, it's the driving not the vehicle!

 

You buy an expensive cars so as everyone will look at it, unfortunately other drivers look and lose concentration.

Plus creased wing. New wing, new bumper, respray = megabucks.

Plus a tarnished history on the McLaren database = more megabucks

Not quite, took me 7 years.

The odometer went to 100000 yesterday.

Additionally some km on another old car.

Not counting the sporadic rides since 1994 on holidays.

Traffic has become terrible during the years mostly by the rapid increase in vehicles.

No more fun.

Of course I missed the photo opportunity by a km

Mazda 2, 100 tkm without any glitch (except flat tires).

That went straight over the top, was meant to be a joke.

 

As for insurance, they will cover his scratch and chase the negligent driver in the pick up for it.

sorry it must of been a bit early for me ?
