He looks hellish like Bin Laden in disguise. The driver was up in court yesterday, he got a £400 fine and nine points on his licence for careless driving, more worrying, perhaps, the car is in the factory in France where they are assessing whether it can be repaired or not 
after the damage it sustained when it hit a car and a tree. Either way I wouldn't like to see his next insurance premium.

Don't forget that a write-off is "beyond economic repair". If a car with a market value of £1m can be repaired, but said repairs cost £350k, then it may still be economically repairable compared to paying out the market value. after the damage it sustained when it hit a car and a tree.JonRB said:

I heard on the grapevine that it was a dealers car on hire, and that the guy who crashed it was the hirers brother, not the owners brother. We will probably never know.

You can bet your bottom dollar that the insurers won't value the car at £1m.
Well, whatever they value it at, if the repair cost is signficantly less than the valuation then they'll repair it even if the sums of money are outrageous by the standards of mere mortals like ourselves.L100NYY said:
I have to say that I am absolutely appalled at the reactions of a couple of so-called Pistonheaders on here.
To say that you are glad to see a car, any car, involved in an rta is absolutely disgusting and makes me feel sick to think that people get off on things like this.
Fully agree with you. Someone very likely lay awake for a long time in excitement at getting this, the car he had been dreaming of. He probably loved it, polished it, and was enjoying driving it when he made a mistake. He is now likely gutted, and will be unlikely every to have it replaced, and yes some supposed car fans on here think he should be laughed at.To say that you are glad to see a car, any car, involved in an rta is absolutely disgusting and makes me feel sick to think that people get off on things like this.

You reckon? You can bet your bottom dollar that the insurers won't value the car at £1m.
a) The kind of insurance taken out on cars like this will almost certainly agree it's value.
b) In any event Veyrons are being sold in the UK at above list price. Anyone in Sutton (London) will verify the £1.2m price tags on the two for sale in London Road a few months ago
