When it comes to operating a motor vehicle, one of the most dangerous things you can either say or think is something along the lines of “watch this”.

In other words, showing off will get you in trouble more often than not, especially if you’re not completely on top of things in terms of what you can do as a driver and what your car can do.

Of course, whoever was behind the wheel of this white 911 Turbo probably didn’t see this Ferrari 488 coming close to making a mess, or any of the countless Ford Mustangs that just slid into trouble after leaving certain events.

Some drivers are definitely luckier than others though, and in this particular case, the driver was sufficiently aware so as to get on the brakes as soon as he felt the car slide out of control.

Had they accelerated just a little bit more, it’s conceivable that the Turbo would have hit that stop sign by the side of the road.
