The Carrera GT is indeed a no-bullshit roadgoing race car that will make its dislike of you known if you give it a reason to, but calling it too dangerous for the road? Really? At least it's got crumple zones and a safety cell, unlike this miserable excuse for a quadriciycle, whatever the hell that is supposed to be:
That, is what too dangerous for the road is. The engineers just didn't care. Oh, you ran a story featuring the G-Wiz in a "horror smash" but despite mentioning Top Gear's concerns over its crashworthiness you never said it was too dangerous for the road.
You know, I really envy those of you in Western countries, you guys get to call people out for sensationalist or downright deceptive journalism. Over here even if you know that something is off (like the improbability of someone getting encephalitis from computer use only), you're still surrounded by people claiming "it's in the news, it must be true!"

If a thing happens, the news will blame every single detail until one of them happens to be true. I could make just as strong of a case to keep all trees at least 100 yards from roads because of how "deadly" they are.

Well, you can call out other people on their bullshit reporting like that, but normally it's drowned out by a sea of ignorant consumers jumping onto the sensationalist hype train that defines Western media. For example, you could go onto CNN and politely and calmly reply to the articles that the Carrera GT is just as safe or safer than most cars people are driving now and back it up with statistical analysis and facts, and you'd still get flamed to hell by the idiots who have never heard of a Carrera GT before two minutes ago when they read the article above. Keep in mind these are the same idiots who can't wait for driverless cars because they'll make the road safer, despite putting on makeup and texting themselves while driving in the present. It's nothing that reason or objection can fix.

Early on I saw some people saying it's dangerous because there's no engine in front, you just go right through whatever you hit.
I wanted to point out the idiocy of the statement, but I couldn't remove my hand from my face.
