The driver? :toss:

The owner? Well. The article reports that the car was hired out to the driver for £20k/day. If his insurance covers him for renting that car out (the owner runs a car hire firm remember) then insurance pays for it fixing. If it doesn't cover that car being hired, then, well, bu**er. #-o

I'm confused as to why this really made the "news." Yet another idiot driver in a car that was simply too powerful for their ego. Luckily this time no-one was hurt, especially the innocent pregnant woman in the Astra.

Modern society for you. Pregnant women are all over the place, population concentrated on council estates. Shall we start running a book on how old she was?

It didn't really make the news did it, I mean it is a sun article not news at ten. Thanks to the internet a lot of stories now get articles that previously would not have been considered newsworthy.

Looks like it had already got some scrapyard bits fitted, second hand door and that.

Standard hire car rules, everyone drives hire cars like they stole them, no? :)
