Wear your seat belts at all time..

This just happened in Cape town South Africa.

Just shows you how important it is to wear seat belts especially in the convertibles

...or a helmet I've seen bike wrecks that look like there was no way anyone could survive and the drivers walked away. This guy looks like he probably cracked his head pretty hard. Also, wtf was he doing to hit the barrier at that angle?

I wonder if he survived. Doesn't look like his car hit him.

Looks like he tried to pass and change lanes rather sharply. Weird angle is right.

I wear my seatbelt because of the dreaded beeeeeeps. I know I could wait and it will turn off but by the 2nd beep, I've had it.

Well the reports are down to the guy died in hospital unfortunately.

It looks like he tried to overtake the car on the left and misjudged the speed and position of the car on the right and the car ricochets the old BMW on the backside.

Needless to say they were traveling at an extremely high speed.

I know its nothing to do with the Z but it was just to throw some concern for the convertible side.
