Viral Clip Shows Lamborghini Struggling On Telangana Roads, Internet Says, ‘Road Tax Down The Drain’

A video featuring a Lamborghini went viral on social media but not for the reasons one would assume. The X video shows the supercar on a road filled with potholes in Telangana. The clip was posted by a user on September 24, showing the stark contrast between the luxury vehicle and the poor quality of roads in India.

The clip shows a jam-packed street with scooters, tempos, auto rickshaws and many others struggling with waterlogged potholes. In the midst of this tumultuous setting, the red Lambo battles to keep control of a bouncy terrain. The people around the scene can be seen staring at the luxurious car with some even recording it on their phones.

The caption accompanying the video read, “He must have paid at least 62 Lacs in Road Tax. Absolute State of Vishwagooroo.”

To further express their opinions, the user used three clown emojis. The expression draws attention to the unfortunate fact that high-end cars are subject to hefty taxes without the corresponding improvements to the road infrastructure.

Most of the reactions have been negative and point more towards the poor road conditions.

A user commented, “If that car had a life – it would be in a chronic depression and wanting to abode to heaven from this hell of a road.”

Another user said, “Road tax down the drain.”

“Pathetic!! They tax mercilessly and provide nothing in return”, read a comment.

Yet another user mentioned, “Cars like this, don’t deserve these kind of roads.”

The video has accumulated almost 2 million views on the microblogging platform.

Road tax, also referred to as motor vehicle tax, is administered by state governments in India based on the acquisition of vehicles. The road tax is levied based on the cost price of the vehicle and is expressed as a percentage. The tax structure in regard to the vehicles differs from one state to another and also depends on the category of the vehicle in question.
