After a rash of crashes involving pricey supercars in China, a bus company in Jinghua, China, is taking action. It teaches its bus drivers: a.) How to spot a super car b.) How much that super car costs. Not in order to raise brand awareness amongst its bus drivers. Carnewschina explains that the insurance usually only covers the first 200,000 yuan ($32,000.) Anything above that comes out of the pocket of the crashor. You have to sell a lot of bus tickets to make up for a bus that plowed into a Rolls. To mitigate the possible damage, these posters appeared on the walls of the bus company. The posters show the logo of the super car manufacturer and the average price in China. The 500 next to the Maybach indicate 5 million yuan ($800,000.) About right. Ouch. The only problem: By the time you are close enough to see the logo, it's usually too late. Nitpicking Carnewschina misses Porsche on the list, and deduces that the Zuffenhausen cars can be "freely crashed." from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com | |||
