Popular Post webfact Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 Porsche no match for Bangkok's slippery roads - red plate supercar hits lamp post Picture: Daily News The unseasonal rains in Bangkok yesterday and the resulting slippery conditions on the roads claimed a high profile victim yesterday. A white Porsche spun out of control near the Lert La School inbound on Kaset-Nawamin Road. The car hit a lamp post and suffered severe damage to the front. Picture: Daily News Two people were taken to hospital with chest compression injuries - Phongphat, 32, and Jitwadee, 43. The super car had a red plate indicating that it was probably very new. The number was พ (Phor) 9999. The Khok Khram police said when the driver is out of hospital they will be charged with negligence and damage to state property.

Popular Post Mavideol Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 they buy expensive cars, all for the show, but they barely know how to drive a tuk tuk... I see some driving very fast on a straight road but stepping hard on the brakes, almost coming to a stop, when there is a curve/corner 19 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the traffic jam will be back sometime soon. In the moment it seems lots of people think empty streets are build for racing. It's a lot more dangerous than usual. Especially all those deliver riders seem to "think" they are invincible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porsche had to pay a huge fine because they didn't write in their car's manual that the car has a high acceleration and high top speed so people should drive carefully. It really happend!

More to the point it was the first rain for months on end. When that happens a film of oil is lifted from the pavements and they can be like sheets of wet ice. Dude has probaly never driven the car in the wet, let alone first rain. As for unseasonal rains, it has rained every songkran I can remember. Songkran usually indicates the very beginning of wet season. Edited April 14, 2020 by metempsychotic 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookiescot Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thing is once a 911 back end steps out its very hard to recover from. This is because of the pendulum effect of the engine BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE. ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bje2000 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Rear wing deployed, possibly from the crash, but lifts at 90km/h and again to a higher position at 170km/h, so speed more than likely a factor. Again, the size of the wallet is greater than driving ability 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) The driver was outmatched by the conditions of the Porsche. Obviously. All the drama he now brings into everyone's life. Ambulance, police, medical staff... Learned to drive 911s, 914-6 and built hotrod 2180cc VWs in mid 70s. What a tosser. Haha.

That aspect which certainly applied to older versions has largely been engineered out meaning a 911 is one of the world’s best handling cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
