If that doesn't make you think twice about how stupid driving fast on the street is, nothing could. Brilliant video.

If you want to drive FAST do it properly on a track. If you kill someone or yourself doing 140+ mph is just STUPID. Remind yourself the fine print of car commercial when you do that next time.

Sad but great video. Everyone who is taking traffic school should be made to watch the video.

its sad to see those clips, but it is very close to reality. so many dumb drivers out there. it's a privilege to have a fast ride, but its one's responsibility to know how to manuever it.

Amen, fast driving is for the track or for situations of high visibility and low traffic. Acceleration if more fun anyway, but also something to be careful of, especially in the F.

The F will change the way you look the 350, I could not think of having a 350 after I drove it as well. Its a poison for sure. Move back in with mom and dad if you have to pick up an F I think the first thing you realize is that the power is greater than the deed. Just knowing the right situation to use it in is key. We are all just delicate flesh and "game over" comes without an extra man.

The Europeans like to get the point across very clearly, sometimes quite harshly.

Yes, I see what looks like dead people. But I can relate, I lost a close family member last year due to somebody else's irresponsible driving.
