This is the dramatic moment a lawyer performed a dangerous manoeuvre with a Ferrari on a busy highway in Argentina.
The driver of the 1997 Ferrari 456 GT was seen looking to his right at the motorist who was filming him as he sped down a highway in Buenos Aires on Thursday afternoon.
He accelerated from the second lane on the right to the right side before the sports car suddenly turned.
The driver faced oncoming traffic and found himself in the left lane, narrowly avoiding a collision with a motorcyclist.
A motorist captured the surreal moment a Ferrari driver performed a dangerous maneuver on a highway in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The 1997 Ferrari 456 GT was seized by Buenos Aires police as part of an investigation after the driver, a lawyer and friend of the luxury car’s owner, was questioned for spinning the car on a highway on Thursday.
Within a second, he returned to the second lane on the right and began to accelerate.
Authorities were able to locate the attorney, whose name was not released, and seized the vehicle as part of the investigation.
He turned up at a police station and was released after questioning.
Local media reported that the vehicle belongs to Eduardo Peña, a 60-year-old businessman.
The Ferrari ended up in the left lane shortly after the driver spun it out in a dangerous maneuver that was captured by another motorist on Thursday afternoon.
The Buenos Aires police seized the keys
A person close to Peña spoke to Argentine newspaper Clarín on condition of anonymity and said the lawyer lost control of the Ferrari when he noticed the driver of a Peugeot was recording him.
He said the lawyer became frightened and accelerated, failing to control the steering wheel, causing the car to spin.
Records obtained by Clarín showed that Ferrari has accumulated four fines for speeding.
The luxury vehicle was fined two times for $328 in the city of Buenos Aires and two additional fines for $617 in two cities in the province of Argentina.
