On July 19, the Facebook page “LADbible” shared video of a risky driving maneuver by a Ferrari, displaying the label “That’s one way to escape the police… ????????”:
The smooth and highly realistic footage seemed to show a red Ferrari driving on a road in the UK, aggressively moving sideways and underneath a slightly taller lorry. The sports car quickly veered to the right to enter the rightmost lane, crossing under the truck instead of in front or back of it.
This claim was easy to verify or disprove, however, as clicking through or even seeing it in Facebook’s video format displayed a separate title:
Ferrari Escapes Police In Style Animation
In the only comment displayed by default in the full-screen video format, LADbible wrote:
LADbible Thanks to animator instagram.com/2ncs for this one.
The clip was shared to Instagram by the original animator in July 2019:
Although video of what appeared to be a Ferrari evading police appeared on Facebook in some places with no indication it was CGI, the clip was labeled in different formats. Moreover, LADbible credited the creator of the video (not the driver) in a top-level comment on the post.
