foxy lady Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I spotted this on Reuters this morning. There have been a few insurance related topics under discussion. I can see this is one of those instances where the insurance companies aren't going to be paying out. Just roll the video. http://uk.ibtimes.com/articles/261175/20111205/ferraris-crash-mayhem-10-supercars-destroyed-3m.htm

foxy lady Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 why won't they be paying? I didn't say they wouldn't but I would be very doubtful that they do. It is pretty clear that this wasn't a regular motorway incident and some sort of "event" was taking place. It is pretty clear that the drivers were traveling together in an unsafe convoy that very likely involved some form of speed trials. We shall see.
Frank Sidney Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I half saw the report on the news and said, "accident, yeah right." They'll have a job convincing the insurance company it was indeed an "accident" or maybe I'm just a sceptic...
chem1st Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Insurance premiums probably going to rise for old men? Some £6k per year...

I can see this is one of those instances where the insurance companies aren't going to be paying out. It's quite impressive that you can identify a car club as driving in an unsafe convoy at speed from a different continent!

foxy lady Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 None of that is 'pretty clear' at all, you're just wildly speculating. There isn't too much speculation about it at all. The report clearly states that the cars were traveling together. The report also suggests that one car hit the barriers and the rest were unable to stop in the distances that they had allowed themselves. That is most certainly an unsafe convoy.
Cyclone Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Cars travelling together doesn't mean cars travelling in an unsafe convoy. It's not uncommon for multiple cars to be involved in an accident on the motorway due to the high speed nature of the road. Unless you characterise every motorway accident as being caused by unsafe convoys, probably speeding.
