London Lamborghini Driver Punches Pedestrian.

Technically it was the Lamborghini passenger who did the haymaker-ing. And technically it was the Lamborghini that deserved a punch.

But seriously, don't jump on a Lamborghini. Also, don't !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! And also, don't !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

I'm not taking sides here, as I realize the annual summer long London supercar invasion can get tiring for residents. On the other hand, lots of people seem to enjoy the spectacle. And hey, it's a free world... to some extent.

That video appears to cut out the part where the Lambo hit the pedestrian on a pedestrian crossing, but if you look before and after the cut, it's pretty clear that's what happened. The Lambo stops at the red light on a pedestrian crossing, then the next thing you see he's a few feet past the crossing, pushing a pedestrian.

The Lambo driver was 100% in the wrong even if the lights changed, because pedestrians always have right of way once they're in the road. His passenger, though, attacked unprovoked.

I have no idea if the police will care enough about the stonkingly huge number of road and vehicle law violations in the video, but they certainly will about the assault.

I'd say the number one rule is 'when driving a Lambo, don't do anything illegal because someone's bound to be filming '.

I don't understand. The english will fine you for farting the wrong way, yet this stupidly annoying rich boy supercar scene just keeps going. All the arabs and whatnot causing a ruckus all over london with their cars.

Info!

Event organised my a car customisation company called 'Kream Developments' (have Facebook page and earlier today asked for videos from onlookers, didn't specifically mention the incident)

I will drop them a message asking who the owner is, as they are all friends. Or so one fb commenter said

You could be right. But I was under the impression that the pedestrian jumped in front of the Lambo to 'sabotage' it for causing such a debacle.

Made me think of this.... Feel free to substitute Lamborghini for Happy Fun Ball

Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball.

Caution: Happy Fun Ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.

Happy Fun Ball contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.

Do not use Happy Fun Ball on concrete.

Discontinue use of Happy Fun Ball if any of the following occurs:

itching

vertigo

dizziness

tingling in extremities

loss of balance or coordination

slurred speech

temporary blindness

profuse sweating

heart palpitations

If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.

Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.

When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration. Failure to do so relieves the makers of Happy Fun Ball, Wacky Products Incorporated, and its parent company, Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability.

Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.

Happy Fun Ball has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is also being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq .

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Happy Fun Ball comes with a lifetime guarantee.

It's political correctness gone mad. You see, these supercar drivers belong to a disenfranchised ethnic group and applying our cultural standards and laws to them would be racist.

Which is why a Moslem woman supposing that a Anglo revving the motor of his cold running and finicky Esprit V8 did it because she was Moslem is enough for the British Government to take away his license, but these folks are allowed to drive these cars in a manner that inconveniences everyone, generally without licenses, unimpeded.

The video doesn't go on long enough to see them get arrested and the cars impounded, but that's Regent Street, in Central London, in rush hour; I'm sure they were. It's at police discretion whether they let you drive a car home if there's something a bit wrong - illegal plates/exhaust/tint, for example - but in this case the cars are so ridiculously unroadworthy and unsafe that the police will have had them towed. The owners will be looking at several hundred pounds just in tow and impound fees, let alone the actual punishments.

The whole Arabs in cars thing has been greatly overblown, because once it got at all out of hand the police clamped right down and since then they've only been able to do stuff within the law. Those who refused to quieten down have found out that being a Saudi prince or whatnot will not keep you out of court or prevent your car being seized.

You're joking, right? You think that a greedy government letting the richest fucks in the world do what they want is because the government is trying to be overtly "politically correct" toward Muslims? Are you fucking kidding me? Then why does this political correctness not extend to the poor Muslims in the UK or around the world? Why does it only extend to the billionaire ones who can do whatever they want (and this extends to the actions of governments like that of Saudi Arabia).

How blind can xenophobia make someone? Government = collection of the greediest, sleaziest assholes in any given country.

Seriously though...what the fuck was that guy doing to the Mucrielago? If anyone walks up to my car in a crosswalk and start pushing on it and wiping their dirty hands on the paint, I don't care what car I'm in, I'm going to get pissed. I don't really fault the guy at all for taking a swing. Over reaction but I can understand. Also...the popping was definitely a bunch of anti-lag setups on the Skylines. So what.

The average rich person just wants to show off their rich-ness, not their track driving, laptime-trimming wannabe-Senna skills. The guys in the video are what I just mentioned.

Don't get me wrong, If I had a car like that, I'd love to take it to the track, but since I live in NYC I'd also love riding around here instead.

It's a bug, comes with most higher end motors. There have been plenty of recalls and court cases, oddly enough this has not solved the driver-is-a-bloody-knob conundrum.

That's not what it looks like to me. It cuts between the lambo rolling up to the crosswalk to a pedestrian pushing on the hood of the car. It looks like the pedestrian was being a dick, the lambo was being a dick, and it resulted in the pedestrian (probably drunk) getting smacked.

Actually, I wouldn't. I drive my cars on the track...not rev them just to get attention. Then again, I don't buy cars to get attention and never will. I buy them because they're fun to drive.

I also like to think of myself as a fairly considerate person. These guys seem like dicks.

You can see the different coloured tarmac after the cut - the Lambo's only just off the crossing at that point. Looks to me like the pedestrian's still being pushed back at that point, too.

Even if the pedestrian was being a dick and crossing the road slowly, the Lambo driver was still in the wrong. (And his passenger was even wronger.) More likely, though, the Lambo driver tried to hassle the pedestrians still crossing as the lights changed, and hit one of them. It would hardly be the first time a dick driver's done that because he believes he has right of way to run people down as soon as the lights change. Of course, he doesn't.

The pedestrians do not have right of way. When light goes red, you either go back where you came from or run the rest of the way. Traffic lights exist for everyone and everyone must obey traffic lights. And you do not jump onto someone's car for no reason, that's destruction of private property. If you don't like how someone drove in front of you, get the license plate and call the cops. It's that fucking simple. But when you say that pedestrians always have right of way, you basically tell everyone that they can cross whenever and wherever they want.

You're completely wrong about English road laws, for starters.

You're also wrong about how it works everywhere else I've ever heard of.

A pedestrian always has right of way. That won't protect them from smashy death if they jump out in front of you, of course, and nor does it mean you're at fault if they do. It does mean, though, that if you can stop, you must. It also means that you are never allowed to drive into a pedestrian on purpose, however much of a dick they're being.

You're a moron if you don't think that the race card has been played here. A Swiss man had his Aventador seized and payed a hefty fine besides, for far more minor of a moving violation not even a year ago. Every year someone gets hurt bad by this pre-Ramadan car culture disaster. There's absolutely a double standard, and while wealth sensitive double standards exist, they are far less virile than the current western obsession with race, and are always loudly decried by politicians (who are generally very wealthy people who benefit from them), whereas every time this tradition comes under fire from some junior MP, they are quickly marginalized by the rest of Parliament, and the issue dies. I don't expect the Gawker Media commentariat to be receptive to the idea, because it's been my experience that they are firmly entrenched on the side of the folks who alternately wring their hands and whet their knives over the merest hint of an accusation of racism, but that doesn't change any of the facts.

I think you're mistaking the collective wealth of a sizeable portion of the world's oil producers, with the "wealth" of a couple of rich folk. The reason the Arabs get away with it, is that the government wants them to come back next year, and collectively pay all that boatload of money in order to dick around for a while and then leave again.

If the Swiss made London their playground, then they would also be allowed to break many laws with barely a slap on the wrist. Just because the MPs "play" the race card, does not mean that race is the issue. The same way that just because Bush and Blair "played" the WMD card, it did not actually mean that Iraq was about WMDs.

US law states that only while in a crosswalk does a pedestrian have the right of way. They are not allowed to enter a crosswalk against a signal. However this is a situation that is best described as everyone being a cockbag.

The audience response of pulling the pedestrian away implies that they weren't totally on his side and may have thought he was the provocateur.

The video was cut, what happened is people were crossing the road and continued crossing after the lights changed. This is VERY common in London especially around this time of year and especially especially around rush hour. The video was cut to skip the bit where the lambo either hassles the pedestrians or actually hits one. In the UK the pedestrian has the right of way. Almost always. This means that while they shouldn't be crossing, if they are they have the right of way.

This makes the Lambo in the wrong.

That said, there's nothing wrong with flipping someone the bird and shouting 'CUNT!' after them as they drive down the road. No need to touch the fucking car.
