Default Driver crashes through wall at 80mph and into Thames then wanders off

A blasé Mercedes driver calmly got out of his car after crashing it
through a wall and into the River Thames.

Residents described seeing the car lose control at an estimated 80mph on
Friday at 6pm.


Five jailed for beating up man who twerked into them in nightclub
The driver, described as an Asian man in his 20s or 30s, wandered off
into the night after throwing several bags into the river.

Emergency services were on the scene within 15 minutes and the German
car was pulled out the river at 7.30pm.

Norwegian student Eline, 24, said: ‘He was driving at like 80mph.

‘We were just sitting in the living room and we heard him speeding to an
amazing degree – he sounded like a race car driver, it was insane.’

Then they heard the car crashing through the wall.

Cool!Â* And he's been punished by losing an expensive car, no need to
waste police time on it.

And who pays for the wall that he demolished?

Also, who pays for the costly removal of the car from the river?

If he's left the car there, they could sell it and pay for more than the
wall and the towing.

"They"! What about the driver's responsibility to pay for it?
He caused the damage, HE is responsible.

It depends.

If he had stolen (TWOCd) the car, it's a dead loss to the owners of the
damaged property, except for the car, whose owner is 99.99999999% likely
to have been insured against loss by theft or accident.

If he was driving the car (in some way) legitimately, the insurance
covering the use of the vehicle will pay. That's what insurance is for.

Who was beaten up in the nightclub? The driver?

Er, the insurance company will only pay out if the accident is reported
to them by the insured. The owner ran away and has apparently
disappeared into the ether.
James feels that it is not the responsibility of the owner, which was my
point.

Re-read what I wrote.

The owner may well not feature in the story. You don't know either way.

The owner ran away and has apparently
disappeared into the ether.


You don't know that. You obviously think you do, but you don't (unless
you have some first-hand knowledge of the case). You are making an
assumption.

James feels that it is not the responsibility of the owner, which was my
point.


It might not be. You don't know that the owner (of the car) was even
actively involved.
