Drink driving...

More on this:

As I live near an area of Holland chock-a-block with rich people (not too
near, I'm sorry to say) fast and expensive cars are a familiar sight here.
Last winter, one of the rich kids had been drinking rather too much. He'd
been showing to his friend how well he could control his Porsche Carrera
911 Turbo, and got up to such frightening speeds that his friend told him
to stop and let him get out. Not two minutes later, the Porsche-driving kid
wrapped his pride around a lamp-post, 3 metres(!) above ground level. He'd
been doing 250 km/h on a 80 km/h road, had been startled by a car coming
out of a driveway and lost control. The Porsche had hit the lamp-post on
the driver's door, almost breaking the car in two. The guy was dead before
the car had come to a halt. Two of my colleagues saw it happening from a
distance, and were quite shocked by the sight. The guy who got out has
probably been praying ever since...

Needless to say, although I love a beer, I stick to Perrier when I need to
drive.
