Impatient Porsche driver’s costly mistake

If you were the proud owner of a Porsche you’d probably take really great care of it, since it’s such an expensive vehicle.

Moreover, hopefully, owning such a fancy car wouldn’t go straight to your head and make you forget you’re a normal human being just like everyone else and have no special right of way on the roads.

Well, one motorist in San Francisco did forget how to be a considerate driver, and it led to him suffering a great deal of embarrassment and most likely cost him a lot of money in vehicle repairs too.

Travelling along in his Porsche, the road user came across some waiting traffic, and, deciding that he didn’t have to wait with everyone else, overtook the queue.

He found himself stuck in wet cement.

Yes, by jumping the line, which was probably for temporary traffic lights or a diversion, he drove his expensive car into a road maintenance site.

Workers immediately got to work trying to free the car before the cement set, while the motorist sat in the car with a red face and hoping that the cement wouldn’t leak into the car’s interior.

Eventually the vehicle was freed, however it’s likely that the impatient driver will have to spend quite a lot of money replacing most of the car’s undercarriage.

He’ll be more careful in the future – hopefully.
