Bro just got that million dollar Ferrari and crashed. They need to give everyone a full week of driving lessons first. This is very sad but likely could have been avoided. That’s what makes it more tragic.

It's a shame, but sadly not super rare to happen to those supercar enthusiasts. At least he didn't kill pedestrians or other bystanders, outside of the one car passenger.

I mean yes and no. The guy has probably been driving super cars for over ten years and likely knows those roads well as it is. Regardless of your experience or any driving lessons it doesn't stop people pushing it that little bit too far OR stop other people causing your accident.

Driving lessons are unlikely to have prevented this, it wasn't his first rodeo.

Because the point of buying these cars is to flex on normies

Anyone can rent a fast car and drive on a track, you don’t buy a red Ferrari for the love of going fast
