Rowan Atkinson has revealed that he will still drive his sports car despite his recent crash. The Johnny English: Reborn actor said that his McClaren F1 vehicle is currently being repaired.
Atkinson told BBC Newsbeat: “It was a misjudgement and it was not a situation that one would wish to recreate in the future, but I’m fine.
“I think the car’s going to take a bit longer to mend than me but it will be mended, it will be back on the road again at some point.
“I’ll certainly be driving the car again, it hasn’t put me off the car but you’ve got to learn your and your vehicle’s limitations, so I think it’s definitely a lesson learnt and I would hope to not be in the same situation [again].”
The 56-year-old escaped a car accident with minor injuries in 1999, after colliding with the rear of a Rover Metro in his sports car, and also emerged unhurt after crashing into a dustcart in 2009.
