with a local prostitute in his passenger seat, who lost control and drove into an English registered car, owned by a British woman of Indian origin, in Spain who was helped by a Polish man who spoke a little French and even less English and her son who spoke a little French and very little Spanish and went to a garage where the owner thankfully spoke Spanish, French and English.
not helped by the Belgian being several sandwiches short of a picnic, unable to read his own insurance documents (in Spanish), or write more than his own name. Also not helped by the requirement to get it all sorted out and car repaired within 7 working days before it, and its owner, return to England.

Otherwise known as "What I did on my holidays..."

Shame, did his insurance company pay for the repairs, how much damage was there and what cars?

I wonder if the prostitute will be able to claim for loss of earnings, from the Belgian.

No, just a simple bump made much more complicated by being abroad, 3 languages, 4 nationalities and the driver at fault apparently not having full mental faculties...

I'm guessing it will be standard "whiplash" claim from her.

Or a claim for a lack of whiplash by the Belgian with an additional claim for loss of 'happy ending'.

Wonder if there was another prostitute in the car. If so, I hope she didn't bite when he drove into the ditch.
