DuduzaneZuma set to argue Porsche 911 prone to losing control in wet weather

JOHANNESBURG - Evidence submitted by Duduzane Zuma’s defence team suggests that he will argue that his Porsche is prone to losing grip in wet road conditions and that he was not driving recklessly on the night he collided with a taxi in Johannesburg.

His defence advocate referred the court to an article in an international motoring publication which stated that many Porsche 911 drivers were unaware that the sports car had an inherent problem that due to its lightweight and wide tires, it could easily aquaplane in wet conditions. Taxi driver Jabulani Dlamini told the court that it was raining heavily on the night and described seeing streams of water flowing across the highway in the moments before the deadly crash.

Not sure if this is going to do Porsche's image/reputation any good.

PorscheRaces PorscheNewsroom see how many millions of people are now being told your cars and brand aid in the killing of people, as they are unsafe , according to Zuma ex president of South Africas son Duduzane Zuma. Is this true are your cars killing machines ?

Okubuhlungu kakhulu you hit and a taxi and kill a bread winner then left South Africa and those woman's children kids to live a laxarious life in Dubai ubungasacabangi nje nokuthi lezongane zidla ini Mr Porsche!!!!! 😭😭

You know when you have money you can do anything, you can tell people the car was driving itself, when that doesn't work, you can go for mental evaluation, when that doesn't work you can claim you are mad and be taken to a menta asylum for a week then ask to be referred home latr

If the road wet, slow down! How fast must the car have been traveling to cause that much damage (wet or dry roads). If this was ordinary citizen they would be in jail already! Its sad that lives are lost and there will be no justices.

Come on now, what a joke!! That lame won't cut it. Nothing wrong with the car..look at the driver and the way he drove the car

Why pay such an amount of money for a dud car He would have been better off with cart and 2 horses.

And Zuma prone to lose moral compass eating Gupta curry.

Wonder if Porsche has legal counsel on watching brief in that courtroom 🤔

Case cooking is currently in progress here,.,.,,,,

Nonsense! If raining, you even driving more carefully.

Sounds like a PICNIC problem Problem in Chair Not in Car !!!!!!

He must buy Tyres, stop driving with bananas

Any car will lose control in wet weather if you speed and hit water. I'm sure daddy already had a discussion with the magistrate/judge. He won't be found guilty guaranteed. Animal Farm - 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others'

Surely this murderer should know that a car does aquaplane in water Why did he NOT reduce the speed for the road conditions ? OH I forgot , is as stupid as stupid zuma

He was driving over 170km/h in a 120km/h road! He must be jailed finish.

I guess Porsche agrees with him. I must say that with all the electronic magic in a Porsche 911 it must actually be one of the most stable cars on the road during wet weather.

Porsche best get ready to sue the pants of this prick . You sure don’t want your brand brought into disrepute.

Well, then you should’ve slowed down on the wet road, shouldn’t you have?

Wow lol

WHAT A C U N T

This is another waste of taxpayers money and time and resources. After all, he is a Zuma.

Of course it is....... that’s why we hear stories about it each and every day especially in Germany where it rains all day.

So this super expensive $100 000 vehicle is a problem on our wet roads🤔shouldn't it be outlawed then😳or should the drivers drive the speed limit🤗was it speed, or porche911 Like that Boeing computer that alledgedly overides the pilot and nosw dives ProductOrHumanWhich1IsIt

If he knew that why did he not take extra precautions in the wet weather.

It's only stupid fucks that will believe him, who was driving the vehicle? If you are behind the wheel, you are responsible... this is like the taxi driver that killed the kids recently, he can say taxis are prone to knocking pedestrians, are we going to believe it? Dashcampros

Lol take me to court I can prove that his lying and the fact it was a 911 makes his case worse😂

Obviously if you are driving too fast in the rain any car will skid.

Then he should have parked it on the side of the road and wait for rain to stop instead of continuing to drive an uncontrollable car. His uncontrollable Porsche is his responsibility

Oh well, the family just need to inlude Porsche in a wrongful death suit, then.

Sorry, but baby Dudu is a bad driver. The Porsche is not prone to loosing control, the driver looses control when driving at high speed on wet roads. Isn't it amazing you blame the car when exceeding the speed limit on wet roads and hit a large puddle of water AQUAPLANING !!!!!

Hope he gets sued to bits by manufacturer .... rot and poppycock?

What is this? Are we talking about a Formula one racing car or normal road car whose driver did not care about other road users?

Jus get an episode of the old TOP GEAR. And win the case

It is when driven recklessly in the pouring rain...

Garbage argument, he's going down

It's a Porsche the driver is a problem. That said they did put microphones in the front tyres to automatically activate wet mode on the 992. See when you reach the universe works with you

A test of bonus pater familas will be applied

So now, one of the most legendary handling cars in motoring industry is to blame... if it has a proneness to sliding, was the car really even roadworthy? And if he was driving a decent speed, is this an example of his driving incapability? I call BS.

Depends on speed and driver.

This dude though 😡! Why is it so difficult to take responsibility
