The movement control order (MCO) hasn’t been easy for everyone, being stuck at home as a result of the stay put directive. Cabin fever isn’t a pretty thing, and so when there’s a chance to go out and grab some essentials or food, the drive is often more than not rather liberating.
Now, couple that to primarily empty roads as a result of everyone else being at home, and it can be one of two things – a quick drive to get what you need, or a quick drive to get what you need, the latter not having anything to do with barang. When you have a supercar, the temptation to floor it under such conditions is surely a hard thing to resist, and sometimes, stupid things happen.
Such was the case earlier this week, when a chap in a Lamborghini Huracan was out and about somewhere in Petaling Jaya, presumably on the way to get some groceries or tapau some food. Never mind that the car was travelling quite rapidly on a main road in a housing area. Still all within control, and boys, well, will be boys.
Rounding the bend, the Huracan arrived at speed right on top of a Perodua Viva heading in the same direction, ambling along, as Vivas tend to. Nothing to it, right, what with momentum and plenty of ponies? Never mind again that there was a double white line. A stab of the throttle and a swift flick of the steering to the right later, and that would have been that, with no tale to tell.
Except there is, and that’s because the driver of the Viva started making a right turn at a junction at the moment the Lambo was attempting to overtake it. The result wasn’t pretty, the supercar crashing into the Perodua with such ferocity much of the bottom rear end of the Viva vanished as a result of the impact. Despite the carnage, no one ended up getting hurt. Even more luckily, no one was seated at the back of the Viva.
Police reports were made, but that’s not where the story ends. According to news reports, the owner of the Viva is a woman who operates a home-cooked meal delivery service business. At the time of the accident, her sister was driving the car, on her way to collect lunch boxes as well as purchase food supplies. The woman, a single mother of three, added that usually her kids would accompany her on delivery rounds, but MCO restrictions had temporarily put a stop to that.
The accident meant the woman lost her delivery vehicle, a crucial tool in ensuring her livelihood. Bad luck, at the worst possible time? Well, yes, but there’s a silver lining, because she’s back in business with a new delivery vehicle, all courtesy of the guy who totaled her Viva.
Hearing of her plight, the Lamborghini owner apparently bought the woman a Myvi to replace her wrecked car, owning up to his mistake with a kind deed. We’re wondering about the purchase arrangement, since both Puspakom and JPJ are offline as a result of the MCO, but let’s not spoil the tale. All’s well that ends well. Nonetheless, the advice remains – drive safe, and remember, you’re never as fast as you think you can be.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
suddenly the lamborghini is a hero for buying a car despite a clear flouting of the laws….. sigh count himself lucky seriously… i hope he gets jailtime #noskill
Both responsible. Serve the viva right by not signalling to make a sudden right turn. Serve the Lamborghini right by wrecking his Lamborghini which cost a much alone with four rims. Next time the women will signal, the Lamborghini will slow down.
It’s a double lane which means no right turn
So what, the double lane also means no overtaking. Both are in the wrong, but the Lambo is being the bigger fool for treating public roads like a race track
Double check with the video. The double lane in some part is turntable.
there are junctions there with broken double solids which allows you to turn, otherwise the double solid means no overtaking. go back to your driving school kopi o license!
Do u mean allow to turn in broken solids line can be turn without giving signal light?
Go back to your driving school kopi o license if u said yes!
can u tell me if this similar case never happen on normal car driver? if this happen to other ppl too.. are those road bullies are luxury car owner? so pls dont saying thing like tat.
Why I dont see keyboard warriors on pt posts nowadays?? Always can see fanboys fighting each other… is thay bcoz of mco?? Keyboard warriors also taking leave it seems
Maybe this one should have been left unpublished. Now someone might get in trouble with the law as it seems that the myvi might be pay off to submit a false report
This is common la..car in front give signal want to turn, car behind speed up/tail gate.
Happens to me all the time. Everytime i give signal and want to turn i into a road, I always look my rear view mirror worry the stupid driver behind ram into me. Most of the car behind dont bother slow down after seeing car in front give signal.
Sometimes so bad, we are forced to turn into corner fast just to avoid the car behind ramming us.
Not the car behind worry, but car in front turning had to worry and look at rear view mirro.
Sigh~ only in malaysia these types of noob drivers
Yes, I same to you. When I was a new driver, I saw a car driving fast towards me via the side mirror, so I quickly turn into the junction nearby me which I do not need it.
At least the lambo owner is doing the right thing by giving her a new car (myvi) for replacement. Respect is earned!
Look at the photo. It’s a REALLY OLD SECOND HAND MYVI.
And that does not absolve him for driving like an a-hole in a housing area..
Probably gave the aunty a myvi frm his own garage. Class act btw.
i have no idea why ppl keep blasting the lambo driver. accident never happen to normal car? all luxury car owner are duchbag? or you guys just jealous? road bullies happen all the timesm, are they luxury car owner?
Busy with Phone one of the reason the driver hits that viva i bealive..
I do not know what the lambo driver is trying to prove by buying a car, so i cant judge that its a “get out of jail” card. But I do know that the lambo driver is 100% liable for a rear end collision and attempted overtaking on double lined that could clearly have resulted in loss of life. Should have been strictly prosecuted by law.
As long there are no injuries sustained or death incurred the there no law to presecute the lambo driver.Only when he want to claim insurance and make a police report,only then he will be fine rm300.And the lambo driver replaced the the wreck viva with a myvi out of guilt and he earned a respect for that for he knows during mco you can’t do anything to claim insurance or repair for that matter.That viva is a total loss anyway..
Which law are you talking about?If you langgar belakang,kemek sikit org ada masuk jail ka.
Hmmm… i have an old Myvi. I want upgrade to an ‘Aruz’ SUV. Hehe now I have a plan
The car which recorded the incident has violated the MCO. There are 2 people talking in the car at the end of the video. Hahaha
Article writer didn’t mention how irresponsible the lambo driver to be driving that fast in a super small and narrow road complete with house on both sides of the road? Ffs
It’s a satirical piece. Of course the driver of the Lamborghini was in the wrong. Completely. Speeding on a road inside a housing area, attempting to overtake on a double white line. Rear ending a car.
bro, unless one actually reads the article. the title is a bit misleading…
Aunty is now delivering food in a Lambo…
Come on people…as long as no body hurt, the lambo guy take responsability, then thats cool enough. Why do we need to quarrel about? Ne positive….the case solved Malaysian’s..
owner is not the driver. but driver should be jailed.
Jailed for what?knock someone’s rear?are for real?
attempt at manslaughter?
