Would you use supercars for initial training?

The living embodiment of Midtown Madness 2. Load your favorite Ferrari and go cruising into London, but beware not to destroy your car (much). :o

To say here in Italy would be illegal, beside than daft. If I remember correctly there's a law that forbids someone who's learning AND a freshly licensed person with less than one year of driving experience to drive a car that may be able to travel above a certain speed (or was it engine displacement? Can't remember)...

And while I do not remember at the moment the minute details, having never had reason to learn them since that law was made effective when I had already more than the minimum requirements, I'm quite sure ANY Ferrari goes way above either parameter.

They're crazy, those Brits. ;)

It probably isn't being driven by a youngster. It's probably some rich middle easterner who hasn't got his UK conversion license yet but can drive with L plates provided he is accompanied by a full license holder.
