Testing a supercar's performance should be done on tracks

If you want to test a supercar for its performance, do that on a track instead of a public road

I feel sorry for the 28 yr old passenger and her family, can't say the same for the Lamborghini Employee and his stupidity.

Too bad for the passenger, as for the driver, good riddance. Idiot.

Probably right foot flirting at it's best!
I never understood this, not even as a teenager.

Being an employee you would think he would have known what the vehical was capable of and his own limitations.

Then again he was 20 something...

Down in miami there was a crash of some politicians kid whom came down off the end of I95 at around 110 mph and smacked into a support column for metro rail. The column dident even flinch but the motor disloged from the vehical and flew nearly a half a mile and landed in a museum parking lot.

no one else was injured.

Well that was a stupid thing to do.

A tragic, senseless, avoidable loss

I've seen stupider things that cost people's life.

Here there was a passenger ship which caught fire somewhere in the sea. Some passengers were killed in the incident mainly due to drowning but the ship refused to sink so it was towed back to port.

And then some people from the safety committee(you could call them forensics) invited some journalists abroad the fateful ship. Guess what the ship sank while those people were on board. Took some lives away too with it, both journalists and the forensics.

NOW THAT IS STUUUUUUUUUUUUU-PID.

In many cases, the automobile can travel faster than the driver has the skill/judgment/experience to control it.
