Some petrol soaked brain driving logic

This comment makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time

Under the bonnet, a 580hp V10 Lamborghini engine grunts gently, accelerating at a rate of 0-60mph (0-100km/h) in just over four seconds.

"It accelerates like a motorbike so it's really good for overtaking in a safe way," Mr Wotke says - though he also acknowledges that "you could just go mad in this thing - but you'd lose your licence".


Two observations...
1. you are very unlikely to lose your licence for this type of driving given how little policing of roads actually exists
2. what assumptions are contained within the thought that accelerating exceptionally fast make it 'safe' for all road users?

But then the Top Gear team say its okay to drive and sow a button on at the same time so why not ...
