THIS WON'T POLISH OUT.

Apparently a rental car too.

I hope the occupants were OK.

Driver received a suspended driving ban and lost their license, so presumably was ok.

It was over 5 years ago though, so not sure what the relevance is?

Oh yes, I see.
Internet news items pop up, and sometimes I don't always realise they might be historical.

It mentioned that the driver falsely claimed, he was driving the other car in the crash.
That is a good one, especially as they were both high performance rental cars, and neither party supposedly had met before.
Must have been the concussion, perhaps.

However, it was reported that the court came to a different conclusion, deciding that it was 'attempting to pervert the course of justice'.

Hmm, well, I don't read the news everyday nor spend my entire time on here so it's easily missed. Also, I think it 'is' relevant in as much as it confirms my belief that any numpty can hire one of these cars without the slightest consideration of it's well being let alone any understanding of mechanical sympathy. Unknown history, buyer beware.
