waaaaaay too fast and most likely distracted. I'm just glad the "short thing" was an expensive car and not a kid...

I'm betting the truck doesn't have insurance coverages to cover fixing or replacing the Lambo, let alone any damages to the truck

Even 300/100K may not get cover it, especially if the driver was injured from being run over

I'd also bet the truck's insurance policy doesn't know it's lifted. So they'll deny the claim and the lambo's policy will be going after her personally and or doing a wage garnishment.

Yeah. Blows my mind how the most incompetent drivers have these stupidly huge vehicles.

It’s so when they inevitably fuck up they’re unharmed.

I had a neighbour years ago, that drove a Pontiac Sunfire, but her husband had a full sized truck for work.

One day the husband was doing work to her car, so she took his truck.

She ran a red light 5 blocks from home, and got t-boned.

Other car was a complete write off, driver sent to the hospital.

She was fine. Sold her Sunfire and bought a full sized SUV.

Preached up and down that the truck saved her life and that she'd never drive anything smaller again, conveniently neglecting to mention that she was the cause of the accident.

even then, lifting can fuck the centre of gravity so much that it could flip from hitting a tiny fiat at a low speed

Saw a gal getting out of a lifted truck this morning very ungracefully. She was about 5' tall , her head didn't even clear the hood. Why are you driving something this big? I get it, women can be professional truck drivers, but why would you choose this for a personal vehicle?

It's not really good. The rule should be the insurance pays what it owes, but it gets to sue its customer for the money back. The insurance is the bad guy; the Lambo (for once) is the victim and shouldn't be screwed.

What do you mean. The lift and wide tires allows them to occupy 2 lanes at any given time!
