    I'd get in with them too.

    I'm quite happy driving with anyone who is a regular GG/GAD/AMOT participant.

    This bloke's American lawyerup point of view:

    "My analysis.
    Based on California Law

    Chronological Order
    Lambo making an illegal pass (Fault count = L:1, F:0)
    Lambo did not pass when safe, crowded out a bike (L:2, F:0)
    Lambo did not signal back to lane (L:3, F:0)
    Ferrari speeding (L3: F:1)
    Ferrari making an illegal pass (L3:F:2)
    Ferrari illegally staying in the wrong lane (L3: F:3)

    So far, there have been no accidents, but drivers have made many mistakes.

    Now, to determine the cause of the accident. (reset fault counter)

    Lambo making another illegal pass (since past the center median) (L1: F0)
    Lambo did not signal (L2: F0)
    Lambo did not check the blind spot (did not pass when safe) (L3: F0)
    Ferrari did not yield to the passing car in front of them (did not pass when safe) (L3: F1)

    I assign more blame to the Lambo, but both are in the wrong.

    Lambo's Lawyer will argue that the Lambo was already in the act of passing again (albeit illegally), and if the Lambo was passing FIRST, it's incumbent on the Ferrari to yield to a car passing ahead.

    The problem was the Lambo was indecisive riding the median, the lack of signaling further made it ambiguous.

    Wondering what the Ferrari's prosecution will say, given they hit the Lambo for illegally being in the wrong place too.

    To give perspective, assume this is a Freeway. I ALWAYS yield to the much faster traffic to the left of me, aka the "fast lane", and would never try to merge until absolutely clear.

    Lambo owners is a billionaire, so you'll be sure the estate of the Swiss family will get something."

    Off the same thread.

    No indicator, no mirror checking by the Lambo.
    The Ferrari shouldn’t have been there.

    The sentence from the wife: “By the grace if God we are both perfectly fine” makes me want to throw up. Not a word about the other people involved, especially the innocent tourists.
    Hope Italy throws the book at them; both drivers at fault but the Swiss have paid with their lives, these guys need to lose a good chunk of their lives as well.

    A number of videos have come up after the horror incident !

    Like various Supercar owners (SIC) reversing their cars to Get the f.... out of Dodge .

    Looking at the map this all occurred on day one?

    Horrific way to die being burnt alive in a car

    Yep but,as I mentioned to Pap on the thread,which I may add is for all to see it's not on Silver,...they were in an open top convertible and MAY have had their seatbelts on as it turned turtle at about 80ish KPH....they'd have been a bit crook anyhoo.

    true,-It's a classic case I suspect of driving with others you have never driven with before?

    One bad cocktail, Supercars ,unknown roads ,poor driving and driving with others you know little of their ability

    One other thing,not that it's all that relevant in this sad case.....the Lambo driver..Indian,is driving on the opposite side of the road to what he's used to.
