Drove past this yesterday on the way back from Southern Suburbs....huge traffic back logs with all the rubbernecking. Very wet road will cause that with these cars...

Don't you get training on how to handle it before driving such an expensive car?

Almost anyone can train to drive on a dry road, a wet surface is another matter entirely...

I can afford it, does not equal I have the skills for it.

 

[Rosaudio]

Oh it's only an MP4-12C. No big deal.

I dont know, I am wired differently, I will never just get into any car and floor it.

I take my time getting to know a vehicle, how it handles in dry and wet conditions, how it responds etc. Only once I have an intuitive understanding will I drive it properly.

What does this mean in real life. I get faster in a go kart the longer I drive it, but am vrek slow in the beginning.

 

[Rocket-Boy]

A car like that on a wet road cant be super easy to control, add impractical shoes(*ahem* ladies) and it could go badly.

you can drive a like a slow coach and still get forced into a collision.

9 out of 10 times its the slow coach or overly cautious driver that is the guilty party.
