Default Lamborghini Galardo - Wrecked by Dubai speed bumper



The government of Dubai thought it would be a good idea to put a speed bump on a street where locals tended to speed. Problem is they didn’t tell anybody. This Gallardo hit it at over 60 MPH.


There’s actually a video of the accident. The back end of the Gallardo goes about 5 feet off the ground : CLICK HERE

We've had this, but without the picture of the car. The thread wasn't titled in a way I can search it though to merge.

We have speed bumps and depressions all over Mexico City, and the cops laughed at me when I asked if they ever catch anyone for speeding on local roads.

I would too, but the guy was going 60-80 on the public road that he did it on, and I'm almost positive if there's a speed bump there, the speed limit isn't anywhere near 60.

However, I think that speedbumps make you slow down WAY too much for the speed you're supposed to be going.
