I assume you mean the guy who pulled out onto the street in front of the Lambo??

Moneymaker · 01-04-2014 12:29AM

Looked like the Lambo was going some speed though.

The Mazda driver may never have seen him/misjudged his speed and thought it was safe to pull out.

StompToWork · 01-04-2014 12:30AM

Yeah, bit of 6 of one, half dozen of the other all right. The other thing that strikes me is that an Aventador crashing sounds like a load of saucepans falling out of a press!!!

K.Flyer · 01-04-2014 12:36AM

Mazda driver was totally at fault pulling out like that.
If the Lambo was hammering it, it would not have stopped in the distance it did considering two of its wheels left the ground.
There goes someones NCB for a long time..

EDIT:

The Aftermath...

So he gave it welly from stand still, obviously wasn't taking the piss cos he slowed down almost straight away after changing to 2nd (listen). Also seemed to be tipping along at a normal pace in the crash video. That's the thing with a car like this, you bloody well hear when it's going fast. It wasn't.

Hardly what you'd consider racing a lambo, by any means.

Quote from a youtube reply in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfS8iz2NaLE

"I wonder how many people on here will blame the Mazda driver. The thing is, in the Mazda's defence, the reaction time would have been much, much greater for both drivers, had the Lambo not been speeding. However, the Mazda driver shouldn't have taken the cross on both sides of the road without checking his left before even making an assumption that it was safe. In a crowded city like London, a lot of people who drive rely on other drivers to give you the right of way, making you believe it's safe. Still, nothing can justify either's actions here, as they were both at fault, if not the Lambo driver mostly purely because speeding according to the British Highway code..."

"In Shmee's other video, you can hear someone saying "yeah, yeah he was driving way too fast". Right at the start. And from people I've spoke to who were at the scene at the time, this Lambo was going far too fast. You've got to think, the 0-60 mark on a Lambo is easily achieved in first gear. High acceleration in the lowest gear would tell me he was on his way to 60 without a doubt. (That's excluding putting his foot down increasing high revs) The collision with the parked cars probably saved his life, and thank god for innocent people passing by too."

This is why we can't have nice things.

100% the mazdas fault, they are going to have one hell of a claim on their insurance after that.

Doesnt matter how fast the lambo was going its still the fault of the person who drives out in front of him. In any case he wasn't going very fast at all.

Is that the official verdict?

Its my official verdict and any other verdict would be taking the p*ss.

Marty McFly · 01-04-2014 08:24AM

Have to say completely the Mazda's fault pulle out in front of the Lambo that's the be all and end all of it really.

The Lambo was probably going a bit to fast but not excessive speeding but the Mazda pulled out in front of oncoming traffic and with the noise the Lambo makes there is no way in hell you wouldn't hear that thing coming. Also has someone else said look how quick the Lamo stopped despite going airborne.

Guy:Incognito · 01-04-2014 08:27AM

Mazda pulled out in front of the Aventador, completely their fault.

Why was someone filming a Mazda pulling out of a junction anyway?

I'd imagine they were preparing to record the Lambo drive by as you can hear the Lambo approach before impact and just happened to be at the right place right time to catch the accident on video

Supergurrier · 01-04-2014 08:31AM

Mazda driver was 100% at fault lambo was only maybe going 60 in a 50 at most.

vibe666 · 01-04-2014 08:31AM

The lambo was going too fast to stop when someone pulled out in front of him. The whole point of having lower speed limits in busy city centres is that things like that tend to happen.

What if it had been a woman with a baby in a pushchair or a kid on a push bike?

if there were no visible obstructions preventing them from seeing each other, the lambo driver must have seen the Mazda sitting at the junction and slowly pulling out, so he was either going too fast to stop in time, fast enough that he didn't see the Mazda until was (literally) on top of him or figured he could make through that the Mazda would eventually stop (aka a game of chicken).

Whatever way you want to slice it, the accident wouldn't have happened if the lambo had been driving within speed limits and hadn't been speeding through city streets.

dantastic · 01-04-2014 08:32AM

It doesn't look like the lambo was going 'too fast'. Check the video again, the Mazda is clipping him right on the corner - it's a straight road!
Had the Mazda turned out and the lambo would have ran in to the back of it - yea. But it didn't.
Driving that main road you would expect the other driver not to drive out in front of you so there would be no reason to brake either, the mazda was just inching out.

People just can't get over the fact that the lambo looks like it's going 100 when it's parked up.

Whatever way you try slice it

, the Mazda pulled out in front of oncoming traffic causing the accident the Lambo had right of way.

heroics · 01-04-2014 08:36AM

Completely the Mazdas fault. Pulled right out in front of the lambo. Cant understand how anybody can think differently. Even if the lambo had been doing 100mph the mazda still drove straight out in front of it. If you cant judge the speed of oncoming traffic you shouldn't be driving.

Absolutely, to say anything otherwise is nonsense IMO.

I said it my earlier post.
If you slow the video down enough you can see the two front wheels leave the ground on impact then the two right hand side wheels leave the ground.
If the wheels are off the ground it means a lot less braking power.
If he had been travelling as fast as some have implied, there most likely would have been far more damage done to both cars.

Caliden · 01-04-2014 08:40AM

I think people's opinion on the lambo's speed is skewed because of the sound. It may as well have no exhaust with the noise it makes.
Careless driving by the Mazda.

Watch the video without sound and cast judgement then. As someone already said, if the lambo was going >30mph (limit around town) then it would have taken much much longer for it to come to a stop.

Kenny Logins · 01-04-2014 08:44AM

I'm not so sure it was completely the Mazda at fault. I think they each gambled on the other stopping, but both lost. I'm sure if it was a pedestrian that stepped out the Aventador would have dropped the anchor. I don't think it's unusual in a large city for cars to pull out of side-streets like that, and you have to be prepared for it. I see this as a 50/50.

BTW, if that Lambo was RHD this wouldn't have happened at all. :pac:

Mazdas are pretty rare in that part of London.

Lambo on main road, Mazda pulling out of side road into its path. I really dont see how this would be 50/50?

Be prepared for people to not yield and pull out onto a main road in front of moving traffic?!...

Oh......first of April....got ya!

corktina · 01-04-2014 08:49AM

The Mazda was well out of the side turn before impact. The Aventador was driving far too fast

60 in a 50 and the other guy 100% to blame? I don't think so.... (you mean 40 in a 30 anyway)

PrettyBoy · 01-04-2014 08:53AM

Mazda driver is at fault, Lambo doesn't appear to be speeding in the video anyway.

It's very like this crash, Aventador driving straight ahead when a car just pulls out in front of it's path.
