    Errrrr, Dad, I had a bit of an accident with the car....

    "The man was driving with a 19-year-old female passenger and both of them walked away from the accident with minor injuries."

    Good safety.

      Police are investigating whether he was speeding when he lost control of the car on the 50mph road.

        That's the result when a supercar hits anything at more than 5 mph.

          Is that with or without rounding.

          You'll probably find that because the car was built to such high specifications was the reason the couple escaped with minor injuries.

            It was definitely a rounding error. He failed to get round the bend in the road.

              With normal cars you rely on the brakes to dissipate energy, but with supercars, the whole car breaks.

                He's going to have a terrible back problem after that crash too.

                It'll take him years to pay the money back.
