I suspect the driver will be past caring about what happens to him legally, he has had the worst thing he could have happen to him happen here I expect.
I'm not so sure. If this was a customer car, I am not sure it will be good for his business. Again, IF.
It's an entirely tragic set of circumstances all told. RIP.

Awful.
Does make me think about 10 Pence Short and his prison diary.
That slowed me down right there. And has ever since.
Absolutely sh*t for all concerned.

I've never seen that. Looked it up and it is indeed sobering.
For anyone who might have missed it (it's from 2007) it starts on page 3.

This is going to get very legally complicated very quickly indeed , I think.
It may get legally very nasty but it won't be complicated. He was driving so there isn't really an issue at hand. It will cost his insurers though but that's what they are there for.Horrible situation for all involved though.

Shortly after I got my first Griff a guy (a Dr in scientific research IIRC) picked up a Chimaera from Team Central and never made it home, his car found upside down in a ditch the next day.
O/T but I remember that, the A446 just after the Belfry nr Sutton Coldfield. I've been round that bend hundreds of times in my yoof in my MG Metro, delighting at how awesome a corner it is, but easy to get wrong with too much power on tap I expect. Now when I visit my folks I always treat it with a lot more respect, because of that specific accident. Someone stopped the next day after seeing a reflection from the car through the bushes.

Not complicated.
If the driver owned the F50: was it insured to be driven in those circumstances?
If the F50 was one of the ones being stored as part of the driver's business, I would guess that the business' insurance may well not cover "taking people out for a cheeky ride".

Not complicated.
And on the point about the driver being past caring what happens to him, maybe just at the minute, but once he is back on his feet, his defence will almost certainly begin. Just human nature that.

That stopped me going on organised runs, I have had a few and seen a few close calls following others in a group and his thread was the final nail.Does make me think about 10 Pence Short and his prison diary.

Overall though, in the case of the OP, this is a horrific accident. All involved have my sympathy.

Brilliant that the Mail manages to get the cost of the car in before mentioning that a child was killed in the incident.I mean, its a fairly tight corner if you were planning on taking 2nd exit coming from Hook, but if you wanted to go straight on down the bypass you'd have to go some way to f
