You are silly Jeez.
No driver should ever 'glance' before pulling out and assume a certain behaviour of another road user, they should look properly and judge speed.
The car with the cool doors should have stopped and maybe speed was a contributing factor, but the normal car caused the crash by not looking properly.
But my car is bigger and more expensive than yours, so fuck you and stuff.

It's a good job you don't work in the insurance industry. You collision claims management process would be "it's the fault of the guy I like least". By your logic it's OK when a car does that to a cyclist because the driver probably thinks cyclists are cunts.
Lamborghini is on the major road. It's driver has right of way regardless of whether he is travelling within the speed limit or above it, regardless of whether his car is matt black, regardless of whether he has his lights on or off, regardless of who is in his passenger seat, regardless of whether he is liked or loathed by his peers, regardless of what kind of car he is in, how much money it cost and how he earned or didn't earn that money. And by the way, there is no such thing as accelerating too fast.
Mazda is not on the major road. It is on another minor road, pulling on to this one. It is incumbent upon the Mazda driver to make sure the road is clear before pulling on to it, without forcing another diver to change speed or direction. It is up to him to accurately assess the speed and direction of an approaching vehicle. He didn't. He pulled out on a moving vehicle which had he been looking he could not have failed to see. He caused the collision. End of story.
It probably took the Lamborghini driver quite a long time to stop because his wheels weren't on the fucking ground.
In real life, when there's no video evidence, insurers will argue depending which vehicle drove into which and which one was stationary at the time, so the damage will be inspected and assessed (and then they will try to twist the facts). We all know that they don't like to part with the money.

Yes, I realise there is the need to be assertive in some situations to actually get anywhere, but there's still something wrong if whilst you're doing that you don't make a judgement about the speed the vehicle that you're pulling out on is travelling at.
Like I said, it's hard to pass judgment. Often there's no way to see a speeding car in time to stop. That's why there are speed limits.

This last part is off to me. You're saying that it's ok for the driver pulling out to make an assumption about the approaching car's speed ( that it's within the limit), when really the driver should have assessed the speed of the approaching car and made a decision based on that.
It's the exact same situation as when you're approaching a junction on a bike and a car pulling out makes the assumption that because you're on a bike you're travelling slowly and continues to pull out right when you're on top of them.
Regardless of whether the lambo was speeding, if the driver of the car pulling out saw it coming, then it's still a dumb move by the driver pulling out.
(not actually attributing blame to either driver though, can't really see enough in the video)
In the real life, when driving in the urban environment you have to be assertive or you will be stuck. People do pull out, but any normal person have enough time to slow down. There are also many junctions where you can't see the approaching traffic in time if the cars are speeding. Simple as that. That Lambo's driver is a certified idiot.
