rtbiscuit Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 thats in the states, but yes, reckelss kids in cars dont help in the UK either, nor do the cash for crash schemers or those who just dont bother insuring their cars at all. Quote
Danny 350Z Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Jeeees, wipe out! I wonder if he purchased an agricultural property. Quote
geoff-r Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Insurance is expensive because insurance companies are all businesses at the end of the day and the point of a business is to return a fat profit! Quote
Chesterfield Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Yup - they ramraided the coffers last year, and now the banks are looking more in depth at a companies financial info for credit, the insurance companies are wanting to swell the cash reserves again. 40% rises in a year is not solely down to a few more accidents in bad weather or ambulance chasing scammers that force cars to hit them from behind, or excess hire car charges. Its massively down to how many companies have managed their cash flow in the last couple of years. Looking at the annual reports from some insurers paints a very clear picture as to whats caused the massive and fast hike in premiums. Quote

350 Russ Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 that crash is horrific, it looks he was doing alot more that 100 mph though Quote
Ekona Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Nah, it's all down to the speed differential between the car that hits and the car recording. If the recording car was doing the state limit of 55mph and the other one was doing 100mph, then it's going to look twice as fast. Quote
geoff-r Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 It's amazing the kid survived. Although he's probably a sandwich or two short of a picnic now. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 It's amazing the kid survived. Although he's probably a sandwich or two short of a picnic now. i think he was before the crash, when you watch the great retardedness that was the driving there. Quote

rtbiscuit Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 just because everyone is allowed to sit a driving test doesnt' mean all those that pass it are actually safe to be on the road. i reckon 3 chances to pass and if you don't thats it, wait 10 years and then try again. Quote
Joss Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 I think they should introduce a "cooling down" period, that way if you fail you have got time to practice what you failed on. Quote
JetSet Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 That looks like an Interstate road which usually have a 75 limit. EDIT, yeah Interstate 675 in Ohio, Pete Quote
