Sad accident for the auto critic.

The other day, before going to the Hakone Turnpike, I was researching on the Internet about the weather and conditions on the Hakone Turnpike when I found this article.

→directional marker or indicatorRepeated "outbursts" by auto critics: ...... "Porsche accidental death" and the problem of manufacturer-dependent media

In April 2016, Yasuyuki Morino, a well-known Porsche enthusiast and automobile critic, was test driving a Porsche 911 GT3 on the Hakone Turnpike when he failed to complete a curve and struck a tree on the opposite lane side. The car was wrecked and Mr. Morino was rushed to the hospital, but died.

The curve at the site was gentle and not accident prone, he said. According to witnesses.Many people take it easy this time of year to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and I myself was going about 40 kilometers per hour when a Porsche passed me at breakneck speed."And. The Porsche 911 GT3 has a top speed of 310 km/h, but at the time of the accident it was probably going over 200 km/h? It is said that the car was going more than 200 km/h at the time of the accident.

Mr. Morino is an "automotive professional" who has served on the selection committee for the "Japan Car of the Year" award, and has written many articles in the past emphasizing Porsche's safety features, such as braking power and devices that reduce the impact on the human body in the event of an accident.

Safe driving first.

He may have been driving at high speed to maximize the performance of the Porsche 911GT3 in order to write a test drive article, but if he was going that fast, he should have test driven the car on a circuit, and he may have been overconfident in his driving... In the end, he lost his life due to his reckless driving. He lost his life.

That said, I think most Porsche owners drive safely, and in fact, I feel that many other foreign cars are driven more recklessly!(Just a feeling?)But, but I also want to always drive safely first and enjoy driving my Porsche again.
