Guess what folks, the fatter the tyres, the more likely they are to aquaplane Lamborghini driver smashes into motorway barrier before fleeing

Yep. Manc drug dealer has lent his hired-for-the-weekend Lambo to a mate.

on reddit or something
I would have guessed West Yorkshire, and a nonsense car hire business that's really there to launder drug money.
Someone had their Lambo impounded by GMP recently for no insurance. Turned up to get it back in another one, also no insurance, got that impounded too. Twats.

I know
Yes, fast car hire places have long been the realm of money launderers. In London when you see a youngster in a Lambo or a Ferrari the first thing you think is drug dealer unless it's got Middle Eastern number plates and is parked illegally, in which case you know the owner is an even bigger scumbag.

Get ready for more careless driving from people using phones as a builder challenges law and unbelievably. Wins.
Motorists could challenge convictions for driving while using their phones after man has case overturned

Agreed but its a difficult law to enforce.

Not much point enforcing it when so many drivers with 12 points or more are still allowed to drive around.

No safe way to drive a thing like that on public roads. No reason anyone would ever need to. Roads are for transport, they're not playgrounds.

That's just bollocks though, just cos there's no specific law banning using a phone for things other than calls or texts (texts would cover all internet use), driving without due care & attention would be a shoe-in.

It's all good, man
Can you explain why?
Most people wouldn't have a problem, IMO.

Lambos are known for being more than a little twitchy, but I gather the newer ones are pretty tame if you go gently.
I drove an Ariel Atom once and I wouldn't fancy trying to pootle round Sainsbury's car park in that bastard.

I’m sure I remember reading within the last year or so about a police department warning drivers that even touching a mobile phone mounted on the dashboard that is being used as a sat-nav is against current motoring laws, because it is still a telecommunications device. Whereas touching a Tom-Tom device would be okay- which is of course the pinnacle of stupidity.

Got my new car and a week later someone reversed into me twice.
I was near a narrow bit of road with cars all along my side where you have to give way to wide oncoming traffic and the women in front of me decided she wasn’t going to (in an Audi obvs). The bus she had blocked from moving made her reverse back about 20 car lengths which she did really badly then got really close to me. I beeped her because she wasn’t stopping and she hit me, moved forward slightly then hit me again. I couldn’t reverse back to stop her as there was a queue of cars behind us.
The bus got through and she drove off. I thought she was going to pull over where she could but she kept driving. Selfish stupid fucking twat. There was no damage to my car but she didn’t know that.
I fucking hate people. I’ve had loads of damage to my cars in the past few years and only once was it my fault (reversed into a pillar).

This is balls. That's a Huracan Performante Spyder LP640-4. If you leave it in 'Strada' mode and don't hoon it then it is probably one of the safest cars on the road as it has excellent brakes/tyres, electronic stability control (with 3 gyros and 3 interia sensors), ABS, drive by wire throttle control and computer controlled limited slip diff. If driven 'normally' it's safer than 99% of the other cars around it.

The Countach had all the grip in the world until it didn't. You got 0.1s of understeer followed by a spin. The Murcielago was much better balanced but you had to be going so incredibly fast to find its limits that when things did unravel they did so very, very quickly. I've never driven an Aventador but I've driven a couple of Huracans and they are docile, even at the limit, unless you've got it in 'Corsa' mode in which case its like a Murcielago with a better infotainment system.
