Ya, but you know why that is, right? It's a rhetorical, I even highlighted the key word for you. I thought that it should've been obvious. *shrug*

So yes, a shitbox can go 100mph as well, but I'd argue ANYONE would be more likely to drive aggressively if they were driving a Lamborghini simply because of the nature of the car.

Yup, it does play into it, the exotics have that mentality kinda built-in so it acts as a -ive influence to immature ppl who drive them, making them do dangerous things. I'm sure a Camry can get up to some dangerous speeds too, and how about Teslas, their 0-60 times kills most cars on the road...even exotics, but the *mentality/image* for those 2 vehicles don't make their drivers go nuts.

Just NOPE. Completely WRONG. Period. Jail Time mandatory. I hope dad gets significantly higher punitive and civil damages applied.

I watched it again. The "reporter" said he ran a red, but if he did, so did the car that entered the intersection in the left lane a few seconds later. The SUV waiting to turn left was also inching forward when the second car entered the intersection. Those things indicate to me the light was green.

Not condoning, just a different perspective.

Many times I've had to brake for idiots pulling out on me not looking properly not thinking probably distracted by radio or phone convo. Bad that woman was killed but she made the bed she laid on, should have checked first with a quick glance if safe to continue against main road at right angles whatever the lights.

The media will always sensationalize things for those that watch it, so they can form their prematurely built opinions and share on the internet…
