Thai rain extra slippery no doubt Edited August 16, 2018 by kannot 20 1 3 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could, but maybe they assume people who buy cars and have licenses can drive. I’m sure they give a demo and ask drivers to read the manual and to drive safely. I guess ultimately the person driving the car is responsible for how fast they drive and how they react to different weather conditions. But I guess for some people they find it easier to be irresponsible and then take no responsibility. We normally call them a**holes. I can’t write the word we use for people who help find blame for them elsewhere. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Mike; a tad cynical there. Brake prob'. Could happen to anyone. Personally I think it's a ploy to elevate Leicester back to the top.

cleverman Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Since arriving, manny things have amazed me. Nothing more so than how a car accident can can cause so any people to be preoccupied by it.

ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 More money than sense (or driving ability). Looks like that might be a 488 Spider. 0-100km in 3 seconds. Such vehicles with torque and hp completely unlike light car and the steering also, it can get away from an inexperienced driver in an instant then you're balled up in a tree. Probably should not be allowed on public roads. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai rain extra slippery no doubt All modern supercars have a highly sophisticated traction control system which when turned on would mean the car's onboard computer constantly makes small adjustments to the brakes, suspension etc. which in turn should compensate for having a complete knuckle dragger at the wheel. The theory being that you'd have to be doing something unbelievably dumb to crash it, even in adverse weather conditions.

ItDontMeanAThing Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Traction control systems can be working perfectly. If the distance needed to stop is greater than the distance to impact, you'll collide. Driver training? It's widely believed Lamborghini adopted AWD in an attempt to keep their owners from crashing so often. Cynics say that's about keeping Lambo from getting a bad reputation, not about saving lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
