Pedestrian throws rock at 'racing' Aventador

[vinnie83]

Couldn't see any threads on this, so forgive me if repost.

Just saw this vid : http://metro.co.uk/2014/05/30/angry-pedestrian-thr...

So what do you guys think?

First of all, I see no proof he was 'racing' - there are no other cars... secondly, the pedestrian says "keep racing, go on keep racing"... but the lambo calmly pulls away moving away from the pedestrian, yet he still runs behind him and throws a big rock at the car!!

I was shocked!

Most recently I was stuck half on a pedestrian crossing due to the idiot in the car refusing to move forward (2 lanes) as there was a lorry to his left, despite my papping and asking him to move (honestly, a polite pap, not aggressive beep)....

As pedestrians were crossing behind me, some old boy smacks my roof and tells me I'm on a pedestrian crossing! I would have accepted a bit of abuse since they didn't know why I was stuck there... but a smack on the roof really angered me - took a lot to not do anything, but he must have been about 70.... so I let it go.. I don't know how I would have reacted had he been younger, like the guy in the vid..


So PH, what do you think?

Everyone is on the defensive nowadays and too quick to react or see the negative. Generally think people need to chill a little and show more respect.

The car stopped way before it got to the guy, showing he wasn't exactly being dangerous. The road is wide clear perfectly straight with great visability and no other traffic.

My answer is that I would have stopped, got out and kicked the st out of the bloke.

Edit: This video has really pissed me off The bloke could have had a word with the Aventador driver, most likely received an apology for annoying him and everybody would have been on their merry way.

Papping?

[Benbay001]

That makes me mad.

[markiii]

where the truck coming the other way to run the utter over, when you need one

I'm not sure why the Aventador driver drove off, there must be more to the story.

The mental liberal in the midle of the road?

[Driver101]

The Lambo wasn't doing anything too bad on the video.

However why was the guy already standing waiting on it coming? Think there is more to the video than we see?

That said two wrongs don't make right. Even if he was speeding it doesn't give anyone the right to damage their car.

If it's a quiet residential street with kids playing etc, and the Aventador has been doing triple figures up and down the street prior, then throwing the rock is justified. Need to know the backstory.

Yep, as in pap pap instead of an aggressive beeeeep

[Bonefish Blues]

I saw the car doing a more than brisk start, producing smoke from either tyres or exhaust continuing to accelerate quickly until it saw the bloke. I sense a backstory here.

But is it really justified? Wouldn't it be more effective to video this chap doing so and informing the police?

Assuming it's this chaps car, we can assume that there's some serious money, and therefore power behind the driver.

If nothing else, if it's a young rich kid driving daddys car, he is probably very popular with his other boy racer friends... I would be either screwing this guy through legal channels, or getting my own back by getting a bunch of people to make the guys life hell.....

Yes I know that two wrongs don't make a right, and my last statement kind of contradicts what I said above it, but a personal attack on the individual has now been made, not just something done that someone else doesn't like.

I can honestly say that if I were the driver, if I failed to screw the guy over legally and recover the money and a bit on top for good measure, I would be seeking revenge...

I can only be grateful it wasn't a can of Red Bull.

But assuming there was a clear view of the road ahead, no pedestrians, no other traffic, was it dangerous? Let's please forget speed limits - we all know they are based on a lowest common denominator....

It's a shame the guy didn't stop and smash that 's teeth out with the rock.

Are you taking the piss? What gives you the right to damage other people's property because you don't like their actions? You sound like sort of person who'd key other people's cars if they parked outside of "your" house.

[MajorProblem]

So if you're doing 90mph on the motorway can I drop a brick off an overpass on to your car?

[s3fella]

Idiot in noisy super car drives about like a spaz and meets other idiot with stones. Idiot with stones wins, as idiot with super car is a pussy.

That's about it. The sort of thing that happens all the time when two idiots meet!

I don't think it was dangerous, but as he was there already with rock in hand and being filmed, I would say that it probably isn't the first time he has seen the car. In fact it looks a good place to do a bit of hooning. Which would be annoying if you lived anywhere close to that road.

I'm happy to see a Lambo once or twice but belting it up and down your street all day would be pretty st.
