This Is Just Great...
On Wednesday, a man drove a Bugatti Veyron into a lagoon in Texas after avoiding a low-flying pelican.
According to The Galveston County Daily News, the driver was checking out real estate in La Marque, Tex., when the pelican swooped into view:
The man jerked the wheel, dropped his cellphone and the car’s front tire left the road and entered a muddy patch, which foiled his attempt to maneuver away from the lagoon.
The Veyron’s powerful engine gurgled like an outboard motor for about 15 minutes before it died.
The man was uninjured, physically, though after drowning the Veyron, which is priced at around $1.5 million, his ego might be a little damaged.
What a waste of a great car. I mean, if anything, the guy should've been enjoying the ability to drive the car, not using his cell phone. Just goes to show that having a fast or precise car doesn't always make someone a good driver. Honestly, the thing that scares me the most about this is that people like this are on the road every day--if anything, this speaks volumes about the dangers of using a cell-phone while driving.
Next time you're having a bad day, just be glad you aren't this guy.
