When it comes to crashes between a driving school car and another vehicle, the blame generally goes to the student driver. We don’t know for sure what happened in the accident pictured below, but from the look of things it involved a student driver in a Perodua Kancil and a non-student driver in a newer Nissan GT-R. As Carscoop explains, the Perodua Kancil (sold as a Daihatsu Mira in other markets) carries an “L” sticker, advising drivers to give the car a wide berth. In Malaysia, where the crash took place, the Kancil is usually the car of choice for teaching drivers the...

So, George Michael: Britain's death-wishy answer to Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, and Kevin Spacey. He's like the holiday turducken no one wants to eat. This photo says it all, right?
