Two Aventadors revving and spitting flames in London

There is a video of this car earlier in the day, blatting away from a junction. Being driven hard.
Maybe some people dont understand the obvious here. If the Lambo was being driven at or below the limit it would not have taken off and ended up 100 odd meters down the road.
Possibly but it's not a long distance from Sloane Square so doubt it could have been going very fast. However was the guy who ran up to the Lambo his mate in the Maser behind?Maybe some people dont understand the obvious here. If the Lambo was being driven at or below the limit it would not have taken off and ended up 100 odd meters down the road.

lol. have you driven in london? 
anyhow very bold claim to say lambo guy hammering anything here
It appears he was speeding. The guy clearly has past history of driving like a complete arse in central london too, which obviously isn't helping.anyhow very bold claim to say lambo guy hammering anything here
I'm blaming Lambo driver more than I'm blaming Mazda driver.
As for the comment on driving in London - I think I'll ignore that.
If you don't think he was going fast (for the road and its location) then please explain how he managed to get air-borne? He was either going too fast or he made no effort to slow down and tried to drive around the Mazda. At the very least he wasn't driving with an awareness of other road users. If he'd knocked down a child would you have been so defensive of his driving antics?
With the examples of idiotic driving around that area by albeit a select few this was an accident waiting to happen. I hope he and his friends have learnt a lesson although unfortunately I suspect they won't.

Based on the video, the lambo driver did nothing wrong.
If I could go on ROOM 101, I would put all these guys in there. All the pathetic idiots that think it is cool to pose around Knightsbridge, driving like lunatics and generally causing an embarassing spectacle, but even more, those stupid prats that run after the cars with cameras, to post this trash on You Tube. The true enthuisiasts keep themselves to themselves and drive their Aventadors & SLSs with respect. Rant over!

Did you miss the bit where it was hit by the Mazda?

Apart from the fact that the Lambo hit the Mazda due to his inability or desire to stop and such was the speed he was going that he took to the air...Based on the video, the lambo driver did nothing wrong.
Is the Lambo driver one of your mates or something?

Mazda driver shouldn't have pulled out
Lambo driver was going too fast for the conditions, evidenced by the fact he hit the Mazda at speed (I don't care if he was doing 20 or 50, it was too fast)

Both at fault but you have to feel sorry for the Mazda driver. Lambo driver is known and has a reputation as a complete teacup already.

we are definitely watching different videos if this is your honest opinion.
In the eyes of the law, the Mazda driver is at fault for pulling out into the path of the correctly proceeding Lambo, which was already established on the road.
yes, he was hammering it along, but speed cannot be used as a defence, as in the Mazda driver will find it very hard to say that he/she did not see the Lambo as it was going too fast. They would not be able to say how fast it was going

It's not as simple as that.What if the mazda had emerged from the junction 1 second earlier and the lambo was going 5mph faster (and still a collision)?
What if the mazda had emerged from the junction 2 seconds earlier and the lambo was going 20mph faster (and still a collision)?
At what point would you start to apportion some blame to the lambo?
Both were at fault as far as I can see. Emerging from the junction is well sighted.
