Speed bump in Dubai sends Gallardo airborn

"The government of Dubai installed a rather large speed bump on a street that locals had developed a habit of travelling on at very high speeds. Only one minor problem, the government didn't tell anyone it had installed the speed bump. Without a sign of warning vehicles hit the mound and leave terra firma, only to land in a shower of sparks as their suspensions bottom out.

The final car in this video, a Lamborghini Gallardo, nearly flips tail over nose when it hits the speed bump, which, again, is why we only drive ours on the track."

Can you say lawsuit? (http://stadium.weblogsinc.com/autoblog/videos/autoblog_speedbump.mov)

Good for them... who cares.. those guys have too much money anyways.

Does it say what the posted speed limit is on that street? Probably 15-35km or something stupid slow.

didn't look like the taxi's were going that fast.. but that lambo definately was.
I'm glad he fucked his car up, he should slow the hell down before he kills some innocent people.

Holy fuck that was crazy. While I suppose they got what they deserve, the city should get in a shitload of trouble if they didn't even put a sign up or anything.

That was crazy, though it makes me happy and pisses me off at the same time. That speed bump could get people killed.

That's crazy!!:eek:
and there's no sign to warn people???
I see that speed bump killing alot of people in the future. I forsee some car getting airborne and landing out of control and crashing into more cars or people.

When I was living in Ottawa, the city wanted to limit speeding on Queensway 417.

I heard a suggestion was to create speed bumps throughout the highway. :eek:

That's like having speed bumps on Deerfoot Trail here and there.. now that's just crazy talk..

least they didn't implement it.

:nut: :rofl:

I know a couple people living there and from what I hear those guys with money drive like complete retards all the time, there are always nasty exotic accidents. cops are just for show and dont even think about handing out tickets to the rich people, so they abuse their impunity and the city is a ferrari/mercedes/lambo/porsche racetrack all the time.

Sweet, way to pwn the rich retards! That Lambo was absolutely flying, no way it was anywhere near the speed limit!

Dubai has huge speed bumps all over the place, this isn't something unusual for them.

the flashing light could be the sign ''you have just hit a bump''

yah the big red flashing light says something so there was a sign technically

and deerfoot already feels like it has speed bumps hence why we dont have as many idiots driving 200 down the long stretch

speed bumps are :thumbsup:
but not warning people about it :thumbsdow

funny never the less, except near the end of clip the silver car lost control and had to stop
