Where does it say, "a lack of driving talent on the part of the Lamborghini
driver was the cause of the accident" ?

Sorry, but all I can see is that it was involved in the accident.

It doesn't say it, but to me the front end damage would suggest he was
travelling either too fast and/or too close to the vehicle in front to be
able to stop.

Then again, could be wrong...

The damage to the car to the right of the picture suggests something ran
into the side of this.

It may have been one vehicle pulled out in front of the Lamborghini.
Lambordhini driver swerves and brakes and takes out the other vehicle.

On the one hand, ya absolutely he'd be nailing it.

On the other, it's a Lamborghini man, imagine the shame of crashing it and
it's in the newspapers...

More like, "what are the odds of every t*t trying to race you" heh?

To my knowledge most high performance car owners and drivers are much
more responsible and sensible than most drivers. They are constantly
taught to evaluate and look ahead further than regular driver. After all
at speeds above 250 kph one is going faster that 60 m per sec.

There is the money involved, the emotional link with the car and even
more so the physical aspect of crashing and going to die.

Sure: from time to time a rich asshole which is blessfully ignorant of
physical laws but the combination of stupid and supercar-rich is
somewhat low and they tend to be bitten quite rapidly.

We'll see how you behave when you'll buy your first more-than-200 HP-
per-driven-wheel-car.

to drive due to 4wd and electronics gismos. One can even venture outside
with it when it rains where with Diablo of Countach you were in for
powerslides and wheelspin just by touching the throttle. This is relatif
to the excellent traction control not to the 4wd system.

That said : the 4wd system shifts about 70% of the power to the rear.
The Gallardo has anything between 500 to 640 HP , you do the math.

Those cars command being sensible because things get fast very quickly.
I have never met a Lambo-driver who wasn't sensible: the car introduces
fear when above 70% of its capacities.

Only the very brave or very stupid take it to the limit. The very brave
only do that on closed circuit and even they slam Lambo's in the
barriers at trackdays.

I live in the very big country Belgium. To my knowledge there are less
then 15 people from around here who should be able to master a Gallardo
at full chat and electronic aids off around Spa. No, I am not one of
them.
