.... Who knows.. perhaps the Ferrari was faulty and the accelerator pedal got stuck! It's always a possibility even if it's a remote one.
Good try, but not so convincing for a one-year old exclusive fast and expensive car! There are other more damning evidence the IOs must consider :
1. The Ferrari was undoubtedly moving at a very high speed - the impact literally lifted the taxi as well as the Ferrari off the ground. The taxi 2000cc engine got ripped off and flung 30 metres away. Even the passengers from the videoing taxi screaming a fright out of their life - and the driver stunned as evident from his reflex-stop by the roadside!
2. To the left of the taxi where the Ferrari comes from, there was a person crossing the pedestrian-crossing even though it was not in his/her favour - the pedestrian-light was flashing red. If the Ferrari was nearby he could have clearly seen it coming in his direction - and clearly heard the roar or scream of the engire in the wee hours of the [quiet] night - and surely would avoid risking the crossing.
3. The Ferrari could have exited the East Coast Parkway (ECP) - an excellent expressway for taking a fast car for a joyride and a speed test - and coming down the steep slope a moment ago. It would take just a few seconds for it to reach the flat-surfaced road at the Rochor-Victoria Street junction. The acceleration would be fantastic for an already accelerating fast car in the hands of an allegedly intoxicated driver (ok, discounting the possibility of eye-witnesses' mistakening petrol smell for liquor smell).
4. All said and done at this juncture, the PRC passenger of the Ferrari holds one of the key keys to the incident. As a front passenger she would have seen the incident rolling right before her very eyes - she could hardly been sleeping going through the thrill of a rare Ferrari ride - or rather flight. The IOs must get to her first before she rewrites the script - notwithstanding the damning video.
You'll never know what the ultra rich from PRCs in a moral-less and get-rich-quick society are capable of - after all it's
kah ki lang (similar or own people) and
wai lang (foreigner) at the same time.
So far they have not bothered to publicly express feeling of sympathy - much less remorse - for the two deceased or the injured and their families - just some self-presevation statements and disgust for [local] netizen's uproar.
