Let me tell you a little story about a company that ran limousines. Just over a year ago, I was driving for a mate in a 6 month old S500 mercedes. Whilst sitting at the lights in pyrmont, some amoebic intellectual equal came racing around the corner in a hotted up EF and straight up the back of the S500. He hit it with such force that 6 airbags went off. Luckily, there was no passenger in the rear of the car but the car was totalled, and so was his. He crawled out through the back door and confronted me that it was my fault because I had stopped at the lights. I laughed and said "you don't have insurance do you?" when he started to cry. I asked him "why wouldn't you have any insurance on your car - it's the dumbest thing you could do" to which he replied "I spent the money on mods", and he cried for a few minutes more after asking how much I thought the benz was gonna cost to fix. At this stage the police turned up and in his infinite wisdom, this moron ran off. 5 minutes later they brought him back, and then I told him what the tow truck driver from Merc Benz told me; "they said it's a write off - that'll probably be about $260,000 dollars replacement and on top of that demorage of $4000 per day, roughly the take on this vehicle. Have a nice day." They took him to the station for fleeing the scene of the accident (even though the loser left his car there). Anyway, the car was replaced within two weeks, Austbrokers paid for the lot including income loss and sent this little halfwit the bill. Like all genuine scumbags he declared himself bankrupt, but fortunately lost his licence due to the neg driving charge, and failing to display his p plates. Also, he is now hated by insurance companies, will not be able to get a loan within the next 5 years (probably longer because finance companies can still access your records) on anything and has been before a magistrate warning him that if he gets behind the wheel whilst disqualified he will be arrested and coud serve a sentence. So don't give me your "it'll never happen" sh1t. I've got the new Benz now and if you hit me, you'll have everything to lose for the sake of allegedly saving $2500 pa. I'll leave you with another thought about being ignorant. "If ignorance is bliss - you must be orgasmic"
