22 Year Old Behind Wheel of Lamborghini - What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

A 22 year old kid was killed along with 3 other people after he lost control of his Lamborghini Diablo Roadster at high speed and crashed into a Volkswagen Golf.  All four  burned to death in their vehicles. 

The driver of the other car was a father of 3.  The identities of his 2 passengers are not known.   The crash happened in Johannesburg, South Africa on July 13, 2008.

This accident shows the tragic danger of too much horsepower coupled with inexperience.

this is what happens when you are too cool to own such car: you die! ...and you kill innocents too, unfortunately.

anyway, never seen the rear side of the chasis of a Lambo

i have always felt that the manufacturers of super cars should require a high-perf driving course (provided by the mfr) in the car being purchased before the transaction is finalized. not a pass/fail type of course, but one that introduces the new owner to deamon under the hood. to often do these wrecks occur due to driver inexperience or inability.

this should extend to used vehicles as well in some way. the mfr knows who ones each one of their 125k dollar vehicles and i think they have a responsibility to the owners to teach them all about the vehicles. i mean seriously - a 22yr old?!? (not all 22yr olds but this guy obviously had no idea how to drive this car maturely) the car was way to much for him, as far as power and temptation to abuse it, and 3 innocent people paid also in this case.
