Mcf777 Turbocharged May 11, 2013 Share May 11, 2013 (edited) Test drive can drive above speed limit? Didnt see anything about TP going to summon him? ============================== http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/...ts-car-20130511 A STUDENT who was given a test drive in a Dutch-made sports car at a private race track will have to pay more than $70,000 in damages after crashing it. Mr Sean Liew Cheng En drove the Spyker C8 Spyder SWB at 240kmh during the invite-only event at the Singapore Changi Airshow Exhibition Centre. He had been given a briefing on the vehicle's capabilities and how he should drive it, according to a court judgment published yesterday. But while negotiating a series of turns, the National University of Singapore undergraduate lost control of the car, which spun anti-clockwise, hit the kerb and landed back on the tarmac. He will have to pay damages to luxury vehicle importer and distributer Auto Palace after the district court found he had driven "at a speed that was non-commensurate with his abilities".

Fourth 2nd Gear May 11, 2013 Share May 11, 2013 This is the funny part... Before the test laps, Mr Liew had signed a form that required drivers to indemnify Auto Palace against any loss or damage. But he mistakenly put his signature in the witness' column and failed to provide his name and identity card number. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
