Not gonna lie; Mercedes does have some sick, sporty-looking instrument clusters in their cars.

But don't get me wrong, driving a Mercedes Coupe with a sporty-looking instrument cluster is not equivalent to driving a sports car.

Watch this video to find out what I mean by that: 

What Happened

This 15-second video seemed to be originally posted on the Mercedes driver's Instagram story.

In the video, the driver performs a "launch control" upon the traffic light turning green. 

With all the fancy instrument clusters of his car, you would assume that he is driving a Mercedes sports car.

But here is the anti-climatic part: It took the driver exactly 11 seconds to get from 0-101km/h. (That is equivalent to a Honda Civic's 0-100km/h timing)

I mean, a Honda Vezel Hybrid could probably outrun his Mercedes C180 Coupe in a 0 to 100km/h race EFFORTLESSLY.

But do you see Honda Vezel drivers taking video of themselves "launching" their cars? NOPE. 

Before the video ended, the driver could be seen hitting a speed of 118km/h. 

License Kantong Already

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume the speed limit of that stretch of road is 70km/h; the driver still exceeded the speed limit by 48km/h.

Also, don't forget the driver's usage of his mobile phone to capture this priceless moment. 

According to the Road Traffic Act, exceeding the vehicular speed limit by 41 to 50km/h will result in 12 demerit points and prosecution in court. 

Furthermore, using a mobile device while driving will result in 12 demerit points and a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment of up to 6 months or both (1st-time offenders). 

Well, that is 24 demerit points and a court date just for that 15-second video.

The driver's stupidity is pretty darn amazing. 

Netizens' Comments

Straight up facts.

I doubt he can take corners and use his phone to film simulateneously🤐

Wah, you didn't have to do him dirty like that.
