How can he drive without a seatbelt, maybe he is too deaf to hear the annoying seatbelt warning beep

Yes could be

The woman driver saying he has not even said sorry, well it’s like any traffic accident, you are lucky if the other person stops.

Then it’s a fight to get their insurance to pay for the Damage if there fault.

Debris said to be from a crash involving the Duke of Edinburgh was put up for sale on eBay.

Seller morbius777 said the debris was from the collision near King's Lynn, Norfolk, on Thursday.

The listing, which has now been removed, said it "may even have Phil's DNA on it, if you wanted to clone him".

It said all money raised from the online auction would go to Cancer Research UK, with the price reaching £65,900 after 139 bids.

An eBay spokesman said the listing was removed in line with its "policy relating to the sale of any item that seeks to profit from human suffering or tragedy".

For some broken glass? Are people really that crazy? :laugh:

Betty really has been milking this, hasn't she...

Yes memory of Crazy OLD Price

Yes I wonder if she goes Front Page on Tuesday?

Feel bad for her that she's literally not being given any care at all

She can buy some... she's been paid out by several newspapers and This Morning, and she's only got a simple fracture.

This is her 15 minutes and she's going to milk it for all it's worth.

As for elderly drivers being singled out.... under 25 year olds cause such a huge percentage of accidents, how about it we raise the driving age to 25? I mean, there's a case for it... they cause most accidents. They're young, they can still get around. Makes perfect sense to me, and it will remove a lot of the most dangerous drivers from our roads.

he has had the Warning turned OFF

I would hazard a guess that they had them turned off as you don’t need to wear a seat belt if you are on private land.

Not really the point when the car is driven on public roads?

It’s a bad habit.

if you have an accident with another driver, who is the care giver? the insurance companies, this is why we pay hundreds of pound or in some cases thousands, I have never know anyone involved in an accident to expect the other party to 'look after them' the two insurance companies sort it out between then

let's not beat about the bush, the woman thinks she has struck a gold mine and wants to exploit it as much as she can

she is embarrassing herself in all honesty

As I’ve said before you are lucky if the other driver does not drive off, this happened to me.

Then the insurance don’t want to pay up.

My brother is going to court over an accident that was not his fault driver on film admitted fault but is trying to get out of paying for a hire vehicle which he needed to continue working as his was off the road and the person on question is a millionaire.

Just read that the queen and prince Philip had another car crash in 1964 just a mile and a half down the road from where I live.

It's not just them not paying, usually your insurance company will pay up if you're hit by a driver who leaves the scene, but you'll lose your no claims (unless your insurer has a clause that says you wont be affected if not at fault) which can represent a good chunk of money (every year!) for people who have spent a long time building one up.

My wife had a car scratch up the driver side door and wreck the wing mirror and just drive off when she was parked outside church (of all places :hmph: ) during our daughter's easter play... repairs were £250 but we just had to swallow the cost because the increase in her insurance for the following year would have cost more than the repair if we had claimed :shrug:.

(As an interesting and somewhat relevant side-note: stories from dozens of people started appearing on the local FB page about finding their car dented / damaged when parked and it turned out to all be the same person... a very elderly local man who was half blind and a bit confused but still driving around town bashing into other cars and not even noticing :facepalm:. Strongly suspect it was him that got ours, too, as it was around that time. He ended up with his family stepping in and taking away his car.)

Yes that could be the case
and they Should Say That

Interesting seat belt information

It only became compulsory to wear a seat belt for front seat passengers in 1983
It only became compulsory to for kids under 14 to wear a rear seatbelt in 1989
And it only became compulsory for an adult to wear a seat belt in the rear in 1991.
