saw that video this morning. What an idiot, changing lanes that aggressively with that much power under his right foot equals disaster. good for him and fortunetaly he didn't injure/kill anyone around him.

p.s. id rather have a C6Z than that murcielago.

Douchebags holding up the passing lane is the true cause of that accident.

Doesn't matter if you're going 200mph, if someone comes up behind you doing 201mph, move over.

I lived in Vancouver last year, drivers there are horrendous for blocking the passing lane. I dealt with it for the 13 months I lived there so yes I can tell you it's a problem. There are pretty much no 3 lane highways in BC. They're mostly 2 lanes. *******s like that make it damn near impossible to pass. It's so bad that even CBP and Washington State Police know that pretty much every car camping in the passing lane from the border down to Seattle has BC plates.

The slow morons are definitely annoying but it's a bit of a stretch to say they caused the accident. The accident was caused by a young driver with poor driving skills, plain and simple. He was driving a very powerful car way too fast for the conditions (the roads looked slightly wet) and made an unsafe lane change. You can see that he squeezed into a tight spot that he shouldn't have, and swerved too quickly when making the lane change.

I'm sure his rich daddy will just buy him a new Lambo anyways. (unless his dad is smart, and then he'll make the kid take driving school and wait at least a few months before letting him behind the wheel of a fast car, teach him a lesson!)

that's why you keep decent size rocks/stones inside your cupholder. Commuting from Burlington to Scarborough for work I deal with this **** everyday. Then they realize you wanna pass they speed up, then they get a nice sized rock thrown at em. **** em.

It's easier and less illegal to just put your 2 left wheels on the shoulder and kick gravel up all over the front end of the car. Here in Alberta there's gravel all over the shoulder so you're pretty much guaranteed to destroy their windshield and/or front bumper.

Let's say I've seen this done.

It's got an Alberta plate so there's a high likelihood he's self-made. Lots young guys making big bucks working for oil and gas out here. Now if it had BC plates, different story lol

Lived in Vancouver all my life, and drive all over north America, the UK and Europe many times each year. I can honestly say that alot of drivers here just plain don't know how to drive in comparison. They hold up traffic in the left lane oblivious to the traffic around them among many other things. IMHO You can say that this accident was the result of the left lane congestion but realistically it is the fault of the driver who did not have the ability to handle that car and their impatience in dealing with the traffic conditions, or maybe just plain old showing off.
