Celebrities also crash

For some people, being famous and having the eyes of the world upon them at all times is no deterrent for bad behaviour. Also, being famous does not mean that your car won’t get stolen, your car will easily bounce off guard rails or that there is a force field around you, protecting you from people, or them from you.

Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldois a recent case in point. The 23-year-old Portuguese winger was driving through a Manchester tunnel when his Ferrari was written off after colliding with a metal hand-rail. Ronaldo miraculously escaped unharmed.

Ronaldo’s now totalled Ferrari 599 is one of the world’s finest and most sought after GT cars, housing one of Ferrari’s best engines – a 6-litre V12 powerhouse.

Other celebs have also found themselves on the wrong side of the law this year, and it’s only January!
