Good thing it was an Excursion and not some tiny truck towing FAR more than it should. :bored

what am i missing here? i can't see where the Lambo driver caused this accident at all? if any thing i blame it on Obama :lol
 
I had a big rig almost do the same thing in front of me & my GT. The big rig driver was so caught up in watching my car in his rear view mirror that he failed to notice that the hwy made a gentle turn to the left. He got off the shoulder, into the pebbles and just about lost it. I've had several other occasions where people get into the GT daze and forget about what they are doing. :eek
 
I'd bet that the trailer driver was going to fast causing the trailer to weave around and eventually .......
 
Well,1st the trailer was one of those Rental USA kinda trailers.... look at the side as it slides around......

2nd... if those Gumball cars were going 80 mph then that trailer was going well over the legal 55 mph 3 axle or more law that we have here in California... they just weren't eating the trailer up as if it was doing 60-65 max

3rd.... if I'm right about #1, then it was someone who never pulled a trailer before (or little experience) and had no idea what to do in that situation... which is to come off the gas and grip the steering wheel and wait for the momentum to disipate.....


Lambo's fault? NOT!!!
 
IMHO the Lambo driver did the right thing, get the hell out of the way as fast and safely as possible!
 
If the Lambo driver is GUILTY in this case - "O.J." is totally innocent in his.
 
I didn't see the Lambo guy at fault either....think someone was more interested in the "show" of exotics going on around him than the road. :frown

One of the many reasons I don't camp. My idea of roughing it is hotels without room service!!
 
I don't see any Lambo fault, like like the Excursion driver was going to fast and I doubt at that speed the wind tunnel from the Lambo made the trailer unstable.
