what's the point of owning one if you can't pin it without the back end giving way and you dying?:P

Being a overcast day and winter in the lower mainland I would bet those roads were damp or even wet. I know that part of the highway and it can be miserable to drive when wet/foggy

Well, Dumbass, I don't know from experience but I imagine there's a difference between being ABLE to drive one and KNOWING HOW to drive one.

If you're spending that much cash on a car with that much potential and haven't taken extensive driving classes, you deserve to crash it if you're pushing it.

It was also approximately 7°C Sunday morning when it happened... I somehow doubt he even had all seasons.

Clearly that guy unsettled the car, and caused it to pendulum over.
Snap steering from left to right while accelerating or braking in any car will do that, regardless of tires.

AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!

i have concluded after watching the video that the dipshit had exotic car syndrome. Obviously he switched lanes way too quickly with no thought whatsoever to how it would upset the balance of the car............thx asshole for wrecking another really cool car, now there will be 1 less on the road to drool over, how is that fair to the rest of us?

These people were not from Alberta, this is common place for many high end car owners to register and insure in Alberta, to avoid limitations due to ICBC's strict cash cow requirements.

It has just come to my attention that people seem to be confused as to the "Keep right" practice.

I work with many people who drive QEII who drive in the left lane and stay there until someone approaches from behind. They then move to the right, said vehicle passes, then they move back to the left.

I argued with them about how its supposed to work (yes I know there is no law) and the common practice of staying right until you need to pass someone.

They repeatedly told me that they, nor anyone they know drives it like that. I asked them why they are doing this.

The answer - because the signs say so. The signs on that highway do not say "Keep right except to pass." They say "Slower traffic keep right." Seems to be misinterpreted by drivers as "I'm doing the speed limit or a little over, and I'm passing semis and busses, so I must be in the correct lane."

First time I'm hearing this.

On the other hand, some others said that those in the left lane should not have been there.

We had a 2 hour long debate over this video. Lol, it was great.

Murcielago is last Lambo without advanced traction control. Just good old throttle traction control which can only do so much.

Modern Lambos, like the Huracan, you can only spin it out in Corsa setting.

End of the day, there is only so much computers can do against physics and stupidity or running summer tires in damp 7c weather with 600+hp.

yeah, they been dick ' s as usual but with the added pressure of national media they've been grasping at straws and trying to make it into something it wasn't. it was a vehicle malfunction that lamborghini is investigating to do with fuel lines igniting and power steering loss.

Rrrrrrriiiiiiigggghhhht.

The Viper resides in Edmonton and the Lambro did as well (at least up until being sold recently).

This may be the case, but a large number of higher end cars register and insure in alberta despite living in BC to avoid things like aircare, specific regulations, price, etc.
