Four-way Dubai Crash Looks like a Luxury Supercar Show!

Porsche crashes into Mercedes that hits another Benz which hits a Bentley. But the cost in damages is just a drop in the bucket in the U.A.E.

Among the worst things can happen to your Porsche is for it to end up in wreck. Whether fender-bender or full-on catastrophe, it’s never a good feeling to see the thousands of dollars spent and hours of sorting through the options to wind up at an insurance auction or worse.

This is all true, of course, unless you call Dubai home, in which case, it’s just another day in the desert sun. RedditorAli666114” posted a horrific sight of a four-way crash involving a Bentley, two  Mercedes-Benzes, and, alas, the cause of the chain reaction, a Cayenne S.

In any other place, the “400-500k in cars” involved in the accident, as Redditor “ElectricThunder12” points out, would give any of those involved a heart attack when they realized all of their cash just got trashed. But in the land of oil fields and mile-high skyscrapers, “Drunk-tusker” puts it best: “Good to see that only their beaters were damaged.”

Whomever filmed the incident involving the Cayenne S and the other cars may have something else to worry about. Per Redditor “JustAnotherDude1990”: “The person who recorded this can go to jail for doing so in the U.A.E.” The country’s privacy laws include recording in public places, which Khaleej Times says is punishable with a fine and up to seven years in prison if such footage “attacks the sanctity of individuals’ private or family life.”

Maybe the U.A.E. can make a law about ruining Porsches in crashes, since it attacks the sanctity of all things Stuttgart.
