As we found out during the time we spent with the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, the Italian exotic has a crowd-mesmerizing effect like few other cars out there. So what do you do when you find yourself behind the wheel of such a Racing Bull, with plenty of people watching you?
Well, here's one thing you should steer clear of when you happen to be in the situation above - don't try to fly over speed bumps.

This isn't some wacky idea we got after a day-dreaming session, nor did we attempt such a ridiculous maneuver during our review. Instead, the piece of advice we have here comes after checking out the clip at the bottom of the page.

The video shows an Aventador Roadster driver who seems to lack the common sense required from somebody in his position. In an urban environment, the man aims at the speed bump in front of him and mashes the throttle.

The poor Lambo rushes towards the obstacle, jumping over it and landing on its nose. And if you think the description of the event is enough to raise some eyebrows, you should prepare yourself for the aural side of the adventure.

It's worth noting that the Aventador can be had with a little button that will help the driver in such situations. We're referring to the optional nose lift system of the V12 beast. Nevertheless, the video doesn't show the use of such a feature.

Of course, the Sant'Agata Bolognese carmaker also offers a more radical solution and we're talking about the Urus here. Now, you might wonder how many customers will take the 650 hp SUV off the road.

And while it's still a bit early to deliver an accurate answer to that question, here's a Lamborghini Urus doing the sideways thing on gravel.
