The Dash Camera Thread (Videos)

[ThisBitterPill]

Apparently both these videos were taken shortly before the crash....





Bearing in mind the Aventador will do 60mph in 2.9sec I'd say he has to be up to nearly 50mph in the second clip...?

 

[GrandeGuy]

This car will do 49mph in 1st and 79mph in second 3rd is 109mph it's not a panda or punto he's hitting 60mph easy . . .

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

he's hitting 60mph easy . . .

Not in the crash video he isn't, if he was that Mazda would have gone flying and done a 360 spin at the angle he hit it at.

You stand next to a motorway and see just how much faster a lorry doing 56MPH passes you in comparison to what it did in the crash video.

Not saying he's not speeding, just not overly excessively.

 

[Freebo]

I like sludgeguts theory of the Mazda pulling out slowly to see past some cars and also think they may not have seen a low slung Lambo coming up the street.

Im also with Most Easterly Pandas, I don't think he was speeding and if he was not speeding by much at-all.

 

[sludgeguts]

With the kind of silly money involved in this particular repair scenario, I imagine Mazda's insurance company will go into EVERY minute detail - all these youtube clips for starters.
I also imagine someone will go down that street looking for every piece of CCTV footage they can, as well as going over the engine computer of the lambo with a fine toothed comb.
Either way, those last couple of vids show this driver to have zero regard for anyone else, flooring it like he did (especially in a car capable of doing zero to moronic in a second or two) in such a heavilly populated area is surely considered to be reckless (I was going to say 'wreckless' but that bit came later )?

The problem is, if lambo is waiting for someone to cross, for example, as mazda starts the cautious pull out, mazda ses the coast is clear, knows there is nothing coming from his right - begins to make the turn.
Lambo, on the other hand, is trembling with anticipation as the pedestrian crosses. He has his eye on the pedestrian to make sure they clear the car & he immediately floors it.
He's already covered the distance between where he was & where the mazda is by the time his head turns & his eyes refocus on what's ahead.
He might not have been going over the speed limit when he hit.

In that second video he revs it very hard in 1st, changes up and then still blips it a bit more so I reckon he has to be getting close to 60mph....

Its errilevent though as the Mazda is still legally at fault. No different to if I drive into the back of an uninsured car, dispite the fact legally they shouldn't have even been there my insurance company would still be liable to fix that vehicle in full, and payout required personal injury claims

How the car (don't assume its the same car or same driver, one of the videos in the last page or two show what appear to be the same car but with 2 different private plates iirc) has previously been driven vs how its driven at the time of collision are two different things though.

We've all been silly or stupid on the road at some point or another, doesn't me we're automatically to blame for any subsequent accident though.

Would seem to be the same car?

And, whilst I agree that how someone drove at one point yesterday is no indication of their usual style, the fact that this guy has clips on YT showing this style of driving would indicate his general leaning towards the showing off by driving like this around town.

And BTW, just because you drive into the back of someone, doesn't automatically put you at fault - there might be extenuating circumstances (which is why we all have dashcams?). My last brush with the insurance sector started off as me being 100% at fault - since the damage looked this way, but my footage proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the other guy was 100% to blame. (and what about the cash for crash scam?)

All I'm saying is - with the huge repair bill, every building along that street might well be asked to submit cctv footage & if that also shows lambo man driving like a loon it will go against him.

I wish mine could accellerate like that sometimes - would make life easier.

They took away the speedo on mine & replaced it with a calendar
Only way I could get it up to 50 in less than half an hour would be to drive it off a cliff.

 

[Caravadossi]

Insurance claim should be interesting, Mazda failed to give way, Aventador potential excess speed.

“There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.”
The Naked City (1958-63)

Just because you think you have right-of-way doesn’t give you licence to travel at the speed limit & crash into anybody who doesn’t have right-of-way. This situation is played out millions of times a day - it doesn’t end badly because the right-of-way driver recognises the other driver is in a hard-place, & lets him go.

I seem to recall a case a few snows back where a driver found himself in court for running down a drunk in the road. Pleading he had right-of way & was within the speed limit didn’t help matters. The court found that as a driver he should know that drunks do stupid things!

Lambo-man may not be some crazy-horse – perhaps just obliged to get revs up when possible to avoid problems with that engine!

Lambo-man will claim off his insurer. Mazda-man will claim off his insurer. Neither insurer will be interested in who was to blame.

Car vs car is always going to be different to car vs person / cyclist.


Going back to the comment people have made that Mazda drivers view may have been blocked by parked cars, the same would apply in reverse, if Mazda driver couldn't see Lambo, then Lambo driver wouldn't have been Madza. It's no different to how if you cant see a lorry drivers mirror they can't see you!

 

[PuntoHowTo]

Equally the Mazda had plenty of time to stop. If I were driving down that road, with the Mazda coming out so slowly it'd be fair enough to assume they were looking at the same time to check its clear and would have stopped.

I'm still adamant the Lambo wasn't speeding by much if at all, Mazda was doing say 15-20mph max? Lambo didn't pass it at over twice the Mazdas speed from what I can tell.

Looking at the speed he passes the Mazda he hits you can roughly calculate the speed from the length of the Mazda, it's hard to suggest he's doing any more than 35mph.

It also doesn't look like the Mazda was creeping out, he seems fairly committed to the manoeuvre, I wonder if he was distracted by the cameras and not paying attention to the road.

No, because you've picked out a completely different clip. The car that crashed is the same car that was in the other 2 clips in ThisBitterPill's post though - one says "pre-crash" and the other shows him thrashing away from a zebra crossing. If those 2 clips are earlier then it's a fairly good example of this guy's normal standard - playing up for any camera he sees?

It's completely different. Lambo guy would've seen the front bumper, then bonnet then some of the windscreen etc emerging from behind the parked cars before mazda guy even had a view - since the furthest mazda guy could lean forward would be where his steering wheel is - and that looks a good 3 feet back from the bumper.

How do we know for sure though? Video of the crash the plates are blurred and the other videos could have been taken at any time or indeed be other the other one if there is more than one in the area.

There might well be more than one matte black lambo thingy in the area - but would they all bear the same plates?
I would've thought a showoff wouldn't want anyone else taking credit or getting their moment of fame?

 

[PuntoHowTo]

What gets me is people who run upto a crashed car and start helping yank people out of the car even at 30mph spinal and neck injuries can be serious Unless the car is burning or sat in a pool of petrol leave the people where they are and get them to sit still and not move their head till checked out by ambulance staff

Now that's a car the water fairies would kill to cut the roof off.

The correct thing to do is walk in front of the wrecked car and shout for them to look as you and not move there head, once happy then walk round to the side of the car and open the door to deal with any injuries try not to get run over by something else while doing this

That telegraph link is the first video of it smashed up with the plate visible that I've seen. Like you say, no question about it being the same vehicle.

Thats the one.. On my first aid at work training that was one scenario Seen a few emergency service type programs to have seen them do this and used that in the roll play much to the surprise of the trainer playing the car crash victim...

then got onto a debate about would i reach inside / enter the car "have the curtain / side air bags gone off?" "no" well im not reaching through the deployment zone

which again was the correct answer apparently
