Video of Bentley Continental GT Stopping To Let Old Couple Cross Road Is Winning Hearts
Indian roads are not for the faint-hearted. Irrespective of the vehicle they own, most people drive or ride in a rash and impatient manner. We have seen a similar attitude in some of the supercar owners too. They drive their exotic cars rashly, and we have even come across reports of supercar crashes. However, not all supercar owners or drivers are the same. There are people who consider other road users too. That is what this video of a Bentley Continental GT shows. The driver of the 2-door sports coupe actually stopped the vehicle for an elderly couple and let them cross the road.
The video has been circulating on various social media platforms, including Reddit, for quite some time. The video is from Telangana. In this video, we see a blue Bentley approaching the camera. As the car approached a small junction, we see an elderly couple walking across the road.
This took place inside the city, and as seen here, the Bentley was being driven within the speed limits. The elderly couple didn’t see the sports car and were crossing the road. They only spotted the car when it was close to them. The pedestrians stopped and gave way to the car driver. The driver, however, did something different.
He stopped the car for the elderly couple and gave them a chance to cross the road. The couple was initially surprised to see the sports car and were probably scared of it. However, the driver gave them ample time to cross the road before resuming his drive. This gesture by the Bentley owner is what is gaining praise on the internet.
In fact, what the Bentley driver did here is absolutely right. You should always give way to pedestrians on the road. Be patient and let them pass. Also, if you are a pedestrian, you should understand that not all drivers are the same, so be careful and alert while crossing. Try to cross at sections that allow pedestrian crossing, and avoid jaywalking to prevent accidents.
Bentley Continental GT
The car seen here in the video is a Bentley Continental GT 2-door sports coupe. This is an expensive luxury coupe from the British luxury carmaker and has a starting price of around ₹5.32 crore, ex-showroom.
The car in the video is finished in a beautiful shade of blue, which Bentley calls Moroccan Blue. It is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. The engine generates 542 Bhp and 770 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission.
Bentleys are extremely popular among wealthy Indian buyers. The richest Indian family, the Ambanis, owns multiple Bentley sedans and Bentayga SUVs. In addition to the Ambanis, many celebrities also own Bentley saloons. Ranbir Kapoor, who is currently one of the most sought-after actors in the industry, recently picked up a brand-new Continental GT.
He has been spotted driving the sports coupe alone and with his family on several occasions. Videos of the actor driving the Bentley have been circulating on social media for the last couple of weeks.
