This is unquestionably a very expensive set of repeated mistakes that doesn’t really make any sense

- A Lamborghini Urus driver repeatedly rams parking bollards, damaging the SUV and leaking fluids.
- Despite multiple attempts, the driver fails to navigate the simple pedestrian walkway safely.
Nobody’s a perfect driver 100% of the time—we’ve all had our moments of questionable judgment behind the wheel. But then there’s this Lamborghini Urus driver, who really set a new benchmark for poor decisions. Caught on camera, they made several poor choices that will surely cost them a pretty penny. Sit back and enjoy watching as someone takes the old adage “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” all too literally.
The video, which has been making the rounds online, shows the incident taking place on a dark street (location still unconfirmed). The Urus approaches what looks like a pedestrian walkway. In the car’s path are three silver parking bollards. For reasons unknown, the driver pilots the super SUV directly into the middle one.

Then, they back up, seem to pause as though they wonder what stopped them, and drive into it again. Perhaps the bollard was short enough that the driver couldn’t see it from inside the car. In any case, the Lamborghini fails to make any ground despite these attempts. What they have done is damage the car to the point that fluid is pouring all over the ground.
At this stage, they try at least one more time, this time pulling to the left and hitting that bollard. This recently popped up on Reddit with few details about the resolution to this incident. After some digging, it appears that this actually happened back in July of last year, possibly in Pennsylvania.
While it’s funny to watch a very clear representation that money doesn’t equate to intelligence, there’s a more sobering message to take away too: this driver’s judgment is outright terrible. Either that, or they were impaired. The likelihood of them failing to notice a child or maybe even an adult pedestrian clearly isn’t zero. Nevertheless, they were, for at least a short time, out in the public, piloting a car that weighs in at some 4,700 lbs (2,131 kg) or more.
There’s no word on exactly how this whole situation ended. As some joked in the comment section of Reddit “Legends say they are still trying to this day.” Jokes aside, here’s hoping that the driver learned something from his costly mistake.
