Super cars may be wonderful to look at, but driving them requires a decent amount of caution. A R3 million McLaren crashed in a street in Cape Town over the past weekend. The car was caught speeding on video, until the incident happened, with many pictures of the aftermath being posted.

Not so cautious driving

The clip was posted on the yomzansi Instagram account showing the aftermath of the incident as well. The car can be seen speeding down the street and then sliding into a wall. The aftermath of it shows a completely wrecked vehicle. The wreck will come with a hefty price tag that most commenters pointed out. That insurance company will have a field day.

The city of luxury

People online weren't too surprised that this incident happened in Cape Town. The city is home to the ultra wealthy of Mzansi as well as many other parts of the world. Funny enough though, what makes this incident even more disappointing is that the car was a rental, having many people wonder where the dude driving it fled to.

Several people were speculating online as to who did this and why they couldn't have driven more responsibly. Others said it was a drug dealer who fled the country after all the embarrassment. What we can be sure about is that it's quite the pricey mistake.
