Didn't mean to say kid. Guess I'm just used to dumb stuff like this happening to teenage drivers

There's a 20 year old here in Vancouver that has a P1. His car collection is really something. Includes an aventador, P1, 458, FF, and of course a Bugatii.

While speeding is likely the cause of this accident, I wonder how easy it is to lose control of a 900HP+ car while driving and obeying speed limits. From most articles I've read about super/hyper cars, the amount of power and lightweight chassis, a driver could easily lose control of a car especially on bad surfaces.

Anyone can chime in?

Must be nice to be blessed with so much money. Kinda like all those children of oil tycoons and shipping magnates. I have my lowly 335. I am content.

With regards to the super car thing the first thing I thought of was Paul walker in the Porsche. I remember back in the late 90's my friends dad had a brand new Porsche Carrera 4? Or something like that. He had to take courses on how to drive it properly. We took it out one day and it was a very humbling experience. And that car is nowhere in mclaren p1 territory. So I can only imagine

Was that in a 25mph zone? Hard to believe the car would be impounded for only going 62mph unless it was in a 25

I think it's a 50km zone. Once you double the speed they can impound your car
