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
There's also a bus which may have been in front of, and obscuring the Lambo when the Mazda driver checked the road before pulling out. Without knowing what happened just prior to the smash, it's very hard to apportion blame.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.

I remember years ago I lived on quite a busy road and a neighbour pulled out of his space into the path of a car which it was speeding, the speed was no defence and the neighbour's insurance had to pay for repairs.
From a legal/insurance point of view I'm sure it's the Mazda's fault but I don't think that's the discussion. The Lamborghini driver bears a lot of responsibility for the fact the collision happened. If I were to crash under the same circumstances I'd certainly feel that my actions had led to the crash.SydneyBridge said:

Rubbish. Would be over ruled by the fact that the Lambo driver was driving without due care and attention, possibly even a charge of dangerous driving. 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.

Right of way does not give you the right to have a collision. You must be fully in control of your vehicle at all times, and you must avoid a collision. Having right of way does not absolve you of either. The very fact that the Lambo didnt even have its brakes on at the moment of collision shows he was not driving with due care and attention.
Why people defend these show offs is beyond me. You'll be telling me next that you can run over pedestrians that step into the road because 'you had established right of way and was driving at the speed limit'.

...because YOU can see from that phone-made video EXACTLY what happened right? It's what you do for a living right? You've been down there and investigated the accident. You know the speed, the circumstances and EVERYTHING else to pass judgement right? YOU.Right of way does not give you the right to have a collision.

ked up IMO. He's driving too fast for the conditions and he doesn't take correct preventative measures. I don't need to know what speed he was doing, I can tell from the fact he's smashed into the Mazda at significant speed.BJG1 said:

That's a job for the insurance companies/police].
