He got off lightly i think

[jleroux]

can someone explain to me how a suspended sentence is any form of punishment for this guy? surely the only way to hit someone like that is money. he tried to break the law for £35K so the law should take him for £70K? he should be given the choice of £70K fine or imprisonment.

i should imagine the real punishment will come the next time he tries to get insurance. seems silly given that he actually had trackday insurance just 'forgot' to tell em!

[jfrf]

i dont think the guy deserved to be punished.

he actually had track insurance, he just forgot to send a fax.

common sense should say that he was covered.

[vic_s]

I would guess any kind of motor insurance will be a problem - bad news for a car dealer!

[vesuvius996]

Common sense, yes, but not the contract of insurance.

If he had to send a fax then he should have sent it if he wanted to be covered.


He got off lightly I reckon!

Who's more foolish?
The inept driver who can't fabricate a decent story or the Court jester who lets the fraudulent man off with no cosequences.
Incredible.

I think the main thing is that the insurance company hasn't paid for damage to the car, and he did get punished, even if it doesn't sound that bad, I'm sure he regrets "trying it on" (or at least not getting away with it!)

I was at Spa when he crashed it, he was a complete ####, tried to get away without paying for the damage to the Armco and cost everyone a shed load of track time and it didn't appear to be a well kept secret that he was going to try it on so it's no wonder the insurance company found out!
