I find this more interesting. Would you? I would let her touch me.. at best.

Driver's £80,000 Bentley car wrecked after it is driven into a wall when she left it at Manchester car wash | Mail Online

From the article:

She said: 'When I got to the car wash that day I handed over my keys to the man washing the car in front of mine and said I would be back in an hour.

:::

Her insurance company have also now had to take legal action against the car wash, after the owner claimed the man who drove it was not an employee. ...

So she just gave her keys to a random guy who happened to be washing the car in front - What a dope!

Like that comedy when the guy steps out of a taxi at a hotel, someone steps forward and says "Take your bags sir?", and after handing over his suitcases and briefcase, he watches bewildered as the guy pops them in another car and drives off

"Nearly 3 times the legal limit". The legal limit is quite low - for a woman probably about a pint isn't it?

I'm pretty sure after 3 or 4 pints I wouldn't be driving the wrong way up a motorway. How does someone get so drunk on so little alcohol?

its complex, the accuracy isn't great, I think they presume lower at the top end to make the bottom end better.

she may have hyperventilated a bit as well.

Her knees are too close to the ground.

(I know Frau D. won't do it!)

That's what jewellery is for.


Some sites you leave it with them and they wash it when the car wash is free. Though with a car that valuable not sure I would leave it with a dodgy car wash.

Whats wrong with driving it into the carwash yourself? I've never had anyone, apart from me, drive my car through a carwash, in fact I've never heard of it. Maybe she wasn't confident enough or a little bit teeny weeny scared (I know Frau D. won't do it!)

She would need to be 30 times the drink drive limit to say yes to you.

never known an insurer to pay you until they have arranged their payout unless you threaten them.

Ms Sawyer said: 'The insurance company have been amazing and have paid out - but the owner of the car wash has refused to admit responsibility. Now they are having to take legal action against them.

That's not her fault though. I would expect the insurer to pay and to sue the car wash, who may run into their own insurance issues if the worker was illegal.

If only things were that straight forward. I have a 6+ month claim going on between my car and a BMW, where the other insurance company took 4 months to send a claims notice to my insurance company, and supplied black and white pics. So my insurance company asked for colour pictures, and its been 2 months
The claim value is north of £400 if it's decided to be completely my fault, though in reality it's 50-50 at best. The sad part is that I end up losing NCB, until the insurance companies sort things out.
