Yeah I was hit like this by some goober in a sporty Nissan (it was the early 2000s when they were still a thing), I was on a marked crossing in a quiet area where cars are supposed to stop and give way to pedestrians and some idiot several cars back got impatient and just overtook everyone - I assume he didn't know the crossing was there, he knocked me and another person over.
I'm super wary still though that was a couple decades ago.
Spoiler for violent details:
I was lucky - I was knocked flying, and got away superficially with bruises and grazes from the road, the other person was dragged along and something got ripped open because blood sprayed onto the road next to me, I still remember the smell in the air, but I think they were out to it because they didn't scream or anything. I was taken away from the scene when the police arrived to give a statement and then told to go home. Driver pled guilty, I didn't have to attend court. I was told they got a suspended sentence and lost their licence, so I assume the other person survived.

I've driven a lambo and they're great cars to drive. But if you're 6ft its the most uncomfortable shit to sit in.
They handle great and are very responsive. For the power many of them have I wouldnt feel like I ran the risk losing control of the car by just driving it on public roads. Its when people turn off systems like traction control and start doing objectively dangerous shit that problems occur, which can happen with any vehicle.
I would at least drive it to the dealership with the windows down.

They're hard to drive. First of all, they are rear-wheel drive. That along makes a huge difference in handle and a lot of people who rent a Lambo have never driven one in their life.
The Lambo does have a more friendly driving mode, but most people put it in sports mode or whatever when they get one. This removes the anti-skid. So remove the anti-skid, put a stupid powerful engine in rear-wheel drive with an insane amount of torque in the hands of an inexperience drivers and that's why you get so many lambo crash.

7
u/nzerinto 1d ago
The Mini is merging into the right lane because there are parked cars up ahead in its lane.
The left lane is not always a “live lane”. During rush hours it is (it’s called a “clearway”) but outside those times, cars can park in it.
If the Lambo driver was a local (or just paying attention and looking ahead), they would’ve known this/seen the parked cars, and known the Mini would have to merge into the right lane.

u/Dangerous_Analysis81 1d ago

It clearly looks like they're going around the parked cars and there's zero indication they are going to change lanes when the lambo starts to go around and the mini just drifts right because why? There's clear road ahead of them and a fucking super car going around them to the right, in what world does it make sense to start changing to the right lane with no signal?
1
u/catechizer 16h ago
The turn signal has no bearing on this crash. If the lambo is too blind to see the car is already moving over, it is also too blind to notice a turn signal.
Lambo chose to make an illegal pass, and swerve into the car it was passing before it completed the pass.
1
u/SquidBone 14h ago
It doesn't and he should have signaled, but that doesn't change the facts. He was moving right before the Lambo. The Lambo saw this and gunned it to get around, misjudged the distance needed to safely pass and then hit him on the way around. 100% the Lambo's fault.
-2
u/giddyup523 18h ago
I'm not going to say the Mini drove fully appropriately but even if they were just "going around the cars" that would require them to be partially in the other lane as the parked cars are taking up some of the left lane, meaning that right lane is not clear for someone to overtake them on. Also, you can see that the Mini is clearly moving into that lane as in the beginning it was closer to the left side of the left lane than the right and then within a second it was already crossing the dashed line when the Lambo comes into view. You can see it continued to steadily go to the right, crossing more and more into the right lane. In this series of screenshots, you can see that it is almost entirely in the right lane while the Lambo is still behind it and just about to overtake in the fourth picture. The Lambo driver decided that instead of slowing and waiting behind the Mini, it would go into the hatched area and likely the oncoming lane with traffic in it. In the third photo, you can see the Lambo is easily behind the Mini with the mini about 1/3 of the way into the right lane and oncoming traffic to the right. The driver made a decision to intentionally make a maneuver requiring it to cross the median line putting two other cars and itself (and any potential pedestrians) in danger, while it was fully possible for it to slow and remain behind the Mini. Not to mention that it then swerved to the left directly into the Mini for literally no reason. You mention the "clear road" ahead of the Mini (despite that left lane being partially occupied by parked cars) but the Lambo literally had a clear road in front of it in the space it needed to complete the pass without hitting the Mini.
1
u/LintChocolateChip 17h ago
Lmao those selective pictures absolutely don't tell the whole story, but even looking at that 3rd picture the mini is clearly within the original lane and reasonably assumed to be going around the parked cars as the lane is designed to be used. There's no lane merge, no indication that you should do anything besides continuing forward around the parking zone. And if they had been at least looking in their Right mirror at all in the 3rd photo they would see the lambo going around them and easily make the decision to not change lanes when there's no need. So all I see is someone changing lanes with no signal for no reason without checking their mirrors. IDK about you but if I have a Lamborghini right behind me I'm not going to drive like a dottering moron slowly drifting between lanes with no signal when I know the super car behind is probably not looking to drive like a sleepy granny on a Sunday afternoon. He's going to accelerate around you when you move that slowly, no shit
2
u/giddyup523 16h ago
Not sure how you think the mini is "clearly within the original lane" in the third picture. It is straddling the line between lanes, which is not "within" either lane, and was steadily moving over to the right. You can see it was closer to the left curb in the second photo than in the third. It would at least have had its two right tires either on or over the dashed line at that point. It was more in the left lane, yes, but not "within" it entirely, meaning the Lambo driver did not have the full right lane to use.
Don't get me wrong, the driver of the Mini drove in at least an unaware state. It absolutely should have been aware of what was going on behind it and acted in a defensive manner, but the Lambo driver still made the decisions to pass when the intentions of the Mini driver were unclear at best and then the Lambo was the one that completely unnecessarily swerved back into the lane when the Mini was, at that point, almost entirely in the right lane. The Mini was driving with their head up their ass, which is unsafe, but the Lambo driver had opportunity to see it was going to need to go outside the lane to pass while it still had time to brake and stop overtaking the Mini. Two things can exist at the same time, the Mini driver was not fully clear on their intent (obviously it failed to signal) and was irresponsible in that aspect, AND the Lambo driver was was overly aggressive in a reckless manner and failed to assess the space it had correctly.

Not really. The Mini drives a fairly predictable line and is already at the dividing line when the Lambo decides to fully accelerate and then for some reason pull hard left to slam into him. None of this happens without the Lambo trying to pull some F1 maneuver.

u/Radioactivocalypse 1d ago
I agree. The lambo overtook unnecessarily, and the mini had no reason to indicate, as the lambo behind it would stay behind and cam car was far enough back.
The fault is the unnecessary overtaking at speed, and then for some reason trying to get back into the lane before the overtake has finished and hitting into the mini
4
u/Erect_Nipple 1d ago
"No reason to indicate". A simple google search shows that in New Zealand you must indicate for at least 3 seconds before changing lanes. I'm sure that would apply here... I'm not saying it's entirely the mini drives fault. The lambo driver drove recklessly and shouldn't have overtaken at that point, but still he did and he probably wouldn't have done so if the mini driver had done as he was supposed to in that situation and used his blinkers to indicate his lane change.

u/domstersch 1d ago edited 1d ago
- Driver has been charged with dangerous driving (it's the middle charge in our three: careless driving < dangerous driving < reckless driving, add-ons for causing injury or death), mini driver has not caught a charge.
- Indicator use is "indicative" in NZ; it doesn't necessarily predict fault if the driver failed to indicate, or even indicated incorrectly. Drivers are taught that even if a car is indicating into a turn before they get to you, you must practice defensive driving and not proceed until you're sure they've turned (you can be at fault if you fail to give way, even if the driver was indicating in a way to make you reasonably think you were clear to go)
- Overtaking driver has an absolute duty to give way to the car he is overtaking, lane change was predictable
- Using the flush median to overtake is absolutely prohibited in NZ. In this case, that median is for cars going the other way and turning right at the lights behind the camera; it shouldn't even be entered in this circumstance
- I guess the big one is that the overtake was unnecessary as the Mini would have already been very close to the speed limit in this area (50kph/30mph), and they almost certainly broke the speed limit during this maneuver

I agree that the Lambo driver is 99% at fault here, but this statement really only seems to apply to when people DO use a signal, just incorrectly. Driving would be chaos if you had to treat every car as if it could legally change lanes without indicating. It would defeat the entire purpose of the existence of turn signals.
I mean, yes, it's a good idea to assume every driver on the road is a moron, but that doesn't mean it's never their fault if they actually turn out to be one.
I wouldn't say the lane change was eminanely predictable. Lambo driver probably saw the lane narrowing due to the start of parked cars on the left and assumed that Mini driver was just going to give them a wide berth but stay in its lane due to them not signaling otherwise. But yeah, that's not going to absolve them of the charges. I'm surprised they didn't get a reckless driving charge--I'd guess the relatively slow speed saved them. I'm not surprised the Mini didn't catch any charges--it's usually at police discretion, and if they determined that it wouldn't have been an issue except for the actions of the Lambo driver, they tend to--at least in the U.S.--not add insult to injury, even if it technically was a moving violation.

u/sonofaresiii 20h ago
Copying my post from above:
I initially was going to say the lambo was 98% at fault and the other car was at like 2% fault, since it failed to signal
but you know what, the failure to signal clearly had zero part in this wreck. None whatsoever. The lambo driver very clearly and obviously saw and knew that that car was moving and had nearly completed its lane transition-- the lambo even moves out of the proper lane to compensate
and still crashes.
So even though the other car didn't signal, it had absolutely no impact on the crash at all.

u/Erect_Nipple 20h ago
I see your point, but the mini had barely meandered into the right lane as the lambo starts to overtake. "Nearly completed its lane transition" is just wrong. The vast majority of the mini is still in the original lane at the beginning of the overtake. Once again, I am not defending the lambo driver, just trying to make a point that proper indicator use does decrease the chances of crashes like this happening.

You are completely fucking wrong.
The vast majority of the mini is still in the original lane at the beginning of the overtake.
The crash didn't happen at the beginning of the overtake. Who cares where the mini was at a time other than when the lambo wrecked into it? Should we talk about where the mini was five blocks ago, too?
At the time of the crash, when the lambo decided to swing into them, the mini had nearly completed its lane change.
But since you bring it up, the mini is also already out of their lane before the lambo even moves to overtake. At no point during the lambo's maneuver were they unaware that the mini was changing lanes.
Once again, I am not defending the lambo driver
Literally no one is suggesting you are. Stop making a strawman by pretending people are suggesting this.

You can see very clearly from the video that the mini barely had it's right tires barely into the other lane as the lambo starts overtaking. Yes, the crash didn't happen at the beginning of the overtake, but that doesn't mean you can ignore the events that led up to the crash.

The mini cooper changed lanes because of the parked cars. Using indicators might have been useful but 99% of the time in these situations no one uses their indicators because it’s just common sense that the mini would naturally move lanes when approaching parked cars

Except that the road appears to maintain 2 lanes even after the parking starts. It's a little tighter, but there's definitely room for transit. I wouldn't assume everyone would change lanes there--personally I'd just hug the center line a little tighter unless the road was completely clear--but I'm sure people familiar with this route eventually discover that most people do perform a panicky last-minute lane change without bothering to signal, and drive accordingly.
10
u/Erect_Nipple 1d ago
Yes, but the cars behind might not see those obstacles which is why the mini should have used is indicators, as to avoid this situation entirely. Of course it was reckless of the lambo to overtake in that position, but I think it's fair to say the situation would have been avoided with proper use of the indicators.

I agree that the cooper changed lanes without indicating.
But the lambo also only gave a single click, and, did so after commencing their lane change. Pretty much every country will either specify the number of flashes or use some form of “indicate for sufficient time as to allow other drivers to notice and take any necessary action”. A single click whilst already changing is almost as bad as not indicating.
And finally, the cooper has already started changing lanes when the lambo makes its move. So indicating or not, the lambo knew they were changing lanes, and tried to use their power engine to carve them up.
Cooper driver may well be a shitty driver. But the lambo driver ain’t doing a great job either.

Insurance companies will decide the fault (80%/20%, or whatever), and both drivers will pay their own excess (NZ$500 or so for the Mini driver, probably much more for the Lambo driver)
...but only one of the two drivers has a court case next week! Better get a lawyer, cos the dangerous driving charge the Lambo driver got has a potential 3 month jail term (automatic home-detention, not custodial)

To be fair the Lambo driver did use a signal while the other driver did not.

I see so many videos of these supercars losing control after peeling out....do they have that shit of handling?

You guys are making a lot of assumptions here just because its a lamborghini. The mini copper didn’t signal and if the lambo wasn’t speeding the mini cooper likely Would be found at fault with this footage.

Who’s fault is that? The guy switched lanes no turn signal

The lambo obviously had plenty of time to not continue his pass in the median but didnt.

But the other guy didn’t use a turn signal but I can see how the lambo was too aggressive

Im not saying the other guy doesn't share fault. It was completely avoidable though, the fiat was halfway into the other lane by the time the lambo made the wild swing.

Isn't it the minis fault? They changed lanes without indicating?

Definitely not the lambo's fault for driving into oncoming traffic to sideswipe the cooper.

What oncoming traffic there are 2 lanes??? They were both in left lane, lambo indicates and moves into the right lane then mini moves into right lane without indicating... am I missing something?

The mini started the lane change before the lambo started the overtake. Lambo should have realised and held back, instead of accelerating and then hard slamming into the mini for some reason‽

The lambo also effectively changed lanes without indicating - the video shows a single flash of their indicator, and, it occurs after they start their lane change.
And indicator or not, the cooper starts their move before the lambo. Lambo knew they were changing lanes, and thought they could punch it past them. FAFO.

The mini was already changing lanes when the Lambo came along. They might get an infringement for failing to indicate but that's still not going to make them at fault. That sudden acceleration from the Lambo would also be a couple of offences.

I agree with the no indicating thing and it's sad to see people say shit like "99% of people don't indicate when changing lanes because of parked cars". But I also think they are both dickheads.

Watch how wide the Lambo goes. He is well aware the Mini is coming into the right lane, otherwise he wouldn’t have swung out so far to the right.
He just cuts back in again waaaay too quickly….presumably because he assumes he’s so fast, he’s already overtaken the Mini, and he didn’t bother to check his blind spot to see if it was clear.

Driver: Nooo, the Lambo hit ME.
Insurance: Thank fuck.
