If you have enough cash to buy a Ferrari, you'd be a fcking idiot to NOT swerve and crash into the boy just to treasure your precious car.

Plus, it's always to your advantage also to fck up your own car than to kill a human.

"Commend the driver" my ass. Isn't the Mustang obliterated by 3 teens written by this moron blogger as well?

I doubt there was an actual decision made to save the boy's life, it was just a reaction

The real question is, "How fast was the Ferrari going?"

Looks pretty residential. I can't imagine that it's more than a 30mph speed limit. At those speeds, I think he'd be able to:

1. See the kid early.
2. Slow down.
3. Brake.
4. Even if the kid "came out of nowhere" and the Ferrari driver hit the brakes, he'd hit him at 20mph.

I wonder if the Ferrari driver was speeding and lost control rather than get charged for "vehicular manslaughter."

Funny, I see now that Death is a proper noun.

step one: lay on the horn
step two: wait for the kid to get out the way
step three: pass by kid

there we passed a kid by and no ferraris were hurt in the passing of the kid

Step one: Hot dog around in a residential area.
Step two: Lose control and crash your Ferrari into a lake.
Step three: Pay local kid $20 to say he was in the road and you swerved to miss him.
Step four: Call your insurance company and show him the Interwebz article and claim no fault.
