Cobra accident

[Excaliber]

Alcohol use may be nothing more than a single beer or glass of wine shared with friends before departure. That may not be indicative of someone under the influence. As the driver seems in fact to own TWO Cobras, one of which is a race car, I would presume he was a skilled driver. Secondarily, I would assume he was not prone to excessive speed, showing off on the street. IF he had a friend for a passenger THEN one might conclude he could have been "showing off". But it was his wife, no reason to be driving aggressively.

So, what really happened to cause this accident is sure a head scratcher! In that regard, perhaps alcohol really is a major player?

I will never show off for a passenger. I'm not about to risk their lives.

Yep. The last thing you ever want to say to your passenger in these cars is "watch this!". Not smart. You know what your car can do, and that should be enough. If you've gotta play, find a track or do it by yourself!!
