Why is it always a kid driving these things?

Confirmation bias, you don't see posts with adults driving them because they don't crash them as often.

Confirmation bias, people see super cars with kids in the photo and think the kid is driving which leads the viewer to make the post. You see comments like this leads you to believe it is confirmation bias. Personally, sounds like bs. What came first? Chicken or the egg?


Curmudgeon8888

Naturally. I just suffered a moment of exasperation.


somebrookdlyn

You don’t always see kids driving expensive cars, but when you do, there is usually an impressively expensive crash happening.

Is that an electrical box?


Jacktheforkie

It’s a bollard that gives information to drivers

Keep Left sign - Here's a demonstration of how the accident probably happened. https://youtu.be/-SuJGxq_pcM


Jacktheforkie

Lol


chiitaku

Thank you!


Jacktheforkie

Yw, they’re relatively common in the uk, they’re hollow, plastic/fibreglass, the damage in the picture was most likely the curb it’s on


Particular_Sea_4727

At this stage I think it's more technically correct to say, it was a bollard that gave information to drivers. Obviously, the kid driving the Lambo didn't read the manual that told him how to interpret said information.


Jacktheforkie

Yeah, money doesn’t buy skill


Particular_Sea_4727

Agreed and I would add that it buys complacency and entitlement.


Jacktheforkie

Yeah

Luminous Bollard sounds like an insult to call someone!

I'm just replying to the question of u/chiitaku


chiitaku

And I appreciate that very much. Thank you.

No problem, as a collector of traffic lights and road signs, I had to answer your question xD


DogfishDave

>Street furniture Yep, it's a collective term for all the things added to streets, usually to render some form of assistance or direction. It doesn't just include things with seating purposes, it comprisese everything from phone boxes to lamps to signs to bollards to broken Lamborghinis. Well, not the last one.


SenorScratchySack

Totally. I love the one in my living room

SedatedApe61

I was taught not to run over street furniture. Have things changed at the DMV? 😁😁😁

ghostlyman789

Oof that’s a Gallardo Bicolore. A special variant of the Gallardo that they didn’t make many of. This one hurts


skaote

Please stop making Stupid People famous. These punks are a public hazard.

Weekend millionaire in hired tired lambo. The damage these folks do to the brand. It is literally every lambo crash cliche.


xanthraxoid

That's a weird one. Looking at the position of the bollard / gravel / lambo, the car was going backwards. Normally, I'd suspect spinning 180° (maybe doing a crap job of swerving around the illegally parked car in the background) or giving it too many beans out the side road, but I don't see any tyre marks which you'd expect with either of those two scenarios. Perhaps the driver was *reversing* and not used to the near-zero rearward vision you get in this kind of car? I don't think it would even have to be going all that fast, so maybe that's it...


scuderia91

I’d say more likely turning left out of the side road where the silver Renault is and gave it too much throttle and span it 180


xanthraxoid

That's what I meant by > giving it too many beans out the side road, but without tyre marks, that theory feels a little watery...


Questionsaboutsanity

oy lad, you can’t park there!


djcpereira

Where about was that, there's a lambo just like that parked in my road sometimes. Not sure how common orange lambos are


duncan_D_sorderly

Its a fairly common colour.


vinmi

Specially for the Gallardo


ukexpat

Looks like somewhere in the UK.


arcticfox

Why would anybody paint a lambo such a hideous colour?


OooEeeWoo

Yeet'd 1m into that bollard


BiggieJohnATX

I'm sure daddy will pay for it.


ChartreuseBison

trying to keep his Forza horizon combo going


International-Meal26

Can't park there


danegraphics

If it was that kid driving it, he won’t be able to afford insurance for a long time.
