Man drives Bugatti into lake

[jav6454]

The guy only purchased the car last week IIRC, and he wasn't driving recklessly, he just dropped his cell phone.

And reaching down and taking away your sight from the road while driving to pick-up your cellphone is sign of a good driver? This guy needs some sense in him.

You rather it be an older, more rare and expensive like an EB110?

Logic fail.

Logic fail.

I'm not saying he's brilliant, I'm just mentioning that he wasn't speeding as everyone would assume.

Someone else was videoing him, no low flying bird, not excessive speed, just someone being distracted!

So his Veyron is busted and so is he. 😉

I declare this... EPIC FAIL 😛

Insurance adjuster has to be laughing with glee after downloading the latest video.

Probably will also be getting a copy of his call log to see if he was making a call, and to see if he called his lawyer shortly before or after the police to concoct a story.

That bird story is odd, and the insurance company likely will want to poke holes into the police report to avoid liability.

Well, perhaps it is just same as you and I driving a Corolla into the lake on the Bugatti owner's economic standpoint.

Everybody loves nature. In the end, life and nature are about human connections. And birds are about trying to murder you in a lake.

The difference is there's a million Corollas out there. Only around 200 Veyron's have been built and this moron destroyed one. It's a very rare car, you can't just walk into a Bugatti dealer, plunk down a million dollars and drive away with a new one an hour later.

Wonder what it would cost to fix it.

I'm sure the frame / engine / body isn't in too bad of shape, the electronics are the killer.

I'm sure if he had to dump another 200k to put it back together, it's not a total loss by any means.

That video tape is damning, but it didn't look like he was going all that fast when he hit the water.

but it didn't look like he was going all that fast when he hit the water.

g4forever said he was going 70 mph shortly before the accident.

You all should go to the car makers web site. It, is enlightening. The music, is fantastic and fits the cars image. People with lots of money, but little common sense could afford one of these.

He wasn't exactly driving brilliantly if dropping his phone caused him to trash it into a lake.

xUKHCx:

I wonder if his cell phone was OK. If he called his distributor to get a replacement they probably wouldn't honor his warranty for a phone that's been underwater.
