A Ferrari driver found out the hard way that rainy roads are just as easy to drive as dry ones. A CCTV video in England shows the moment the car loses traction and goes off the road. He crashes into several motorcycle racks and a concrete stand before heading off. back on the road.
The incident occurred on Rose Lane in Norwich on a Sunday afternoon, with puddles found even though no rain was forecast.

Before the driver could fix the problem, the Italian supercar jumped onto the sidewalk and crashed into four separate motorcycle parking lots. Each one bends under the force of the car, but it’s a concrete planter.
Instead, the structure of the Ferrari disintegrates, the airbags deploy, and the entire car seems to bounce off the street. Only after crossing either lane and moving onto the opposite sidewalk does the driver regain control.
A local article in the Eastern Daily Press says the road was closed for some time after the crash. The authorities used a kind of pellet to absorb the liquids from the vehicle. Reportedly, a witness believed the car had been destroyed due to the damage.
In reality, it is very difficult to determine exactly how much damage the Italian sports car suffered. Obviously, the front fender, wheel, bumper, and side skirt were all damaged. Is it enough to cover the overall vehicle? It’s possible, but with the engine located at the rear of the car, serious mechanical damage to the powertrain itself is unlikely. The fluids that ended up on the road may simply be coolant or windshield washer fluid.
Either way, it turns out that at least one user has learned this lesson the hard way. With wonderful strength comes a wonderful responsibility: not pushing the accelerator too hard in rainy conditions.
