    Bloke has got many previous examples of driving like a dick head. As long as he only hurt himself it serves him right.

    From what I’ve heard lately it sounds like there will be awful news to follow. I hope that’s really not true though.

    Where do people “hear” this stuff?

    In their heads. I blame all these airpods you see people wearing. No clue what they are being fed from Zuckerberg, Musk et al.

    Bit like we have the 3rd highest budget / it’s a project/ we are fixing the basics at the club you mean ? 😉

    To return to the more serious matter however it’s just the nature of social media/ the internet where literally any comment can go unchecked / unchallenged which in normal conversation would be robustly challenged/ clarified on first utterance.

    His insurance premium is also going to be hit.

    Speedy recovery…oops. Get well soon Antonio.

    That is a terrible thing to say.

    Is it? He's clearly a fucking nightmare on the roads - how would you feel if he'd totalled your motor, or worse, driven into your missus' motor and killed her?

    Or if he ploughed into a minibus carrying orphans and puppies?

    Of course I agree with your post BUT to say "it serves him right" is very poor.

    I think it might have been worded a bit better, yes. But still got very little sympathy. Hopefully he'll be uninsurable now anyway.

    A prime example of wealth far exceeding skill. Just because you can afford a supercar, doesn't mean you automatically have the talent to drive it.

    Iv heard that Lewis Hamilton is a shit footballer, so that confirms your thinking….. 
  • How does that work? Not wearing a seat belt wouldn't somehow teleport you into the back seat? 
    Might do if the car spun. 
    That's hit something head on. I'd say if he wasn't wearing a seat belt he'd be dead. Either way, he's already totalled one motor at outrageous speed and told social media it cost him 20 grand a year to insure his car. This might sound insensitive, given the circumstances, but having seen the effects of shit driving first hand, and lost a friend to it when I was younger, I'd say he needs to stop driving like an arsehole. How would people feel if he'd taken another motor out instead of a tree of whatever it was he hit? 
    That’s mad. Better to pay for a driver surely at that cost level. Not much fun in driving anywhere in the UK these days.

    Indeed. Similar for a mobile phone and computer though others lives not so at risk, which makes it incomparable but let's not always be constrained by logic.

    But that's the problem, in a nutshell - isn't it? 'Fun' in this case presumably being the freedom to drive like a bellend until getting caught - hopefully managing not to kill himself or someone else along the way. I suspect hiring a driver hadn't even entered his head - because there's no point having a 250 grand car if you can't drive it like a cnut yourself

    I suspect it might be quite exciting if you drive like he seems to.

    What breed of puppies? Were the orphans ginger? 🤔

    I dont understand why nowdays it's a "road traffic accident".  Looks to me like there was no other "traffic". Different if you're in a collision with another car or on a motorway accident. 

    Also some of the damage done might have been made by rescue services if he had to be cut out of the car.
    It's not. It's called an RTC "Road Traffic Collision".
    Used to be RTA, but changed years ago, so as to not presume an accident.
    Have you been watching Hot Fuzz?


    You jest but I remember when working for the DfT attending a meeting at which the head of road policing was present at which he pointed out quite firmly that there was no such thing as a road traffic accident, they were collisions.

    The police also got very upset if anyone ever referred to a speed camera. They are safety cameras!

    He's been a PL player for a decade and earns about 75k a week so i doubt he's too bothered at 20k a year insurance (which will now be going a lot higher).

    I bet those that share his postcode will be less than impressed when they come to renew.

    Exactly. Who does he think he is…Lance Stroll!!!

    Lucky to get away with that and hopefully resuming a career. Very heavy hit on the drivers side regardless of what they had to do to get him out, serious damage.

    It seems he's been a lucky lad.  Hopefully he'll be able to resume his career.

    He should forget the Sportcars and either go for an Reliant Robin or buy a tank similar to Chris Eubank.

    It will possibly effectively end his career as he is now 34.
    He'll be 35 by the time he is match fit.
    Will he want to play in the lower leagues?
