A very expensive pile-up

As women, we like seeing members of our sex doing things that make us all look good.

Unfortunately there are some women that make us grate our teeth and bite our nails while inwardly we scream, “Why on earth did you do that? Now we all look stupid!”

One female driver, described by one online newspaper as a “hapless blond”, recently did something which warrants such a reaction.

She was driving her Bentley Azure (£250,000) near the very fancy Place du Casino in Monte Carlo when she caused a rather expensive pile-up.

A Mercedes S Class, Ferrari, Porsche 911 and Aston Marin Rapide were all involved in the crash – and it is estimated to have caused more than £40,000 of damage.

The woman was lucky not to have caused even more damage, since altogether the cars cost almost £700,000.

We do feel sorry for her, despite her silly mistake. The drivers of the other vehicles probably weren’t that pleasant about the incident.

Personally we at the duck2water office feel much happier driving in and around less expensive cars. That way if we’re involved in a minor accident, it’s not too much of a disaster financially.
