Speed might not kill, but it certainly hurts the wallet...

If you rob a gas station, you're only going to get about $100, but I get to see a K9 dog use your arm as a chew toy. For all I care you can keep the $100.

No major injuries, amazingly enough, unless you count the fact that Mr high-performance-car-low-performance-driver is NOT insured.

More than my first house.
Around $150,000+ I'm told. The guy was more concerned about his car than the gaping hole in his head at the time.
About 80 metres of thick black skid marks down the road too..

HAHA!
When i was in SA, we had some loser that bought a Ferrari 360 Modena, brand new, uninisured...3 days and it was written off. No injuries but one really expensive coffee table. :D
The Lotus looks like it should be okay though. A bit of duct tape on the fibreglass and a polish and back to new in no time! :p"He didn't want to tell the cop he was on his way to the Butt Pirate Palace for a little two-step with Joe-Joe during the Village People marathon." - Cat_Doc

Looks like he had a bad night... Should have just given the car to me :p
Did you cite him for failure to carry insurance?

Not 100% sure of Wombat's area but in most states (and I am sure it is the same in Victoria) your vehicle registration has compulsory insurance attached, but this only covers you if you hurt someone else (basically) and does not cover to replace your own car. That sort of insurance is not compulsory so if you wreck your own car or it is stolen and you do not have personal insurance on it, then too bad, so sad. Originally Posted by wholesalestunna

No. Just the driving related offences. Originally Posted by frankyde84

Doesn't apply to this guy though..
