Nothing more so than how a car accident can can cause so any people to be preoccupied by it. If I ever get that interested in something so mundane, it will be time for me to leave. Good job most members on here are not preoccupied with it being an 'accident'. An accident implies there's no one to blame. Most members are 'preoccupied' with it being careless/reckless driving. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, Dmaxdan said: 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. Somchai probably turned it off...... Take a look at this and reconsider uninformed comments. 1:05 for example Gent just taps brakes and goes into a violent spin after hitting the wall.. No traction control system or "onboard computer" can compensate for the performance of these vehicles, especially in unskilled hands.

Wiggy Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Many supercars have carbon fibre brakes, and if they aren't hot they don't work so well. It's still the driver's fault though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. If it is a Thai Ferrari driver's manual: #1: Don't text and drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that all these supercar accidents are driven by Thai males. Like their pick-up owning counterparts we all know the reason for this. Given the worlds worst road death rate, by association, predominantly Thai male drivers, surely the only way this will ever be stopped in the future is by limiting the the ability for any Thai male to drive on the road. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
