Ferrari driver narrowly avoids double accident

This guy was test driving in Maranello when a car (that Mercedes A-Class on the right) pulled out in front of him without looking. There was only a few hundred feet between the two cars. And narrowly avoids the on coming Mercedes.

It's been my experience that it's kind of a myth that in Europe there are no or high speed limits. In fact at the 5 sec mark he blows past a men working sign and a speed limit sign of 30 kph. I kind of think he was doing a bit more than 30k. Also he blows past the construction site the split second before he almost hits the Mercedes. The Ferrari driver is a douche who would have gone to prison if he'd hit anybody and caused a death.

Most likely not, as it sounds like they are in some part of Europe.

100% on all counts...

He's obviously an experienced driver.

If you watch closely or slowed down you'll see how expertly he corrects just enough to avoid over-steering. A less experienced driver without those reflexive actions would've spun out or eaten shit into the trees off the side of the road (or hit one or both of the other vehicles!).

Still freaky as heck! I pooped in @newtboy's pants.

I'm pretty sure the person that pulled out did look to his left before pulling out. He is about 20-30 metres from the junction and has completed the turn, this probably took a few seconds to complete the turn from stationary or near stationary and get away from the junction. The Ferrari driver looks to have covered somewhere between 100-200m of distance in this time.

The first sign the Ferrari driver passed was a warning sign of an awkward junction coming up ahead on his right so he should slow down. There are other warning signs and a speed limit clearly posted that he is in excess of.

He may be a talented car handler, but he's a poor (and dangerous) driver.
