Ferrari F430 caught playing chicken in Florida intersection

An early entry for whoever's building the monthly video montage of America's worst drivers comes from this clip, caught by a red-light camera in St. Petersburg, Fla., of a Ferrari F430 driver who seems determined to independently measure how much it costs to fix a wrecked exotic-- and maybe a few other models as well.

I've seen a lot of these types of shots over the years, and what makes this one notable is the utter lack of awareness by the Ferrari driver that he or she has run a red light and smack into oncoming traffic; the Ferrari slows, slightly, but makes no attempt to steer around the other vehicles. It's as if driving an expensive red sports car makes one immune to traffic laws or physics.
