ETA: You've seen the 'after', this is the 'before': It takes serious application to knock down iron bollards and railings before 'parking' your Range Rover. I don't suppose anyone is too worried. In that part of London many people will finance the replacement out of petty cash.

More likely, the insurance company will pay-off without comment and the expense will be spread across others, because you want those clients.

No-one is injured, it's not worth the police time to try and prove the driver was negligent. if the insurer of the basement owner wants to persue it, or the council wanting to get their bollards fixed.... If you hit another car, you just exchange insurance details. Several years ago I learned the hard way that here in the US you should call the police regardless. So this time I did and it proved a very good call. But I feel a tit calling 911 for a fender bender, it's just not how I was brought up.

Put the regular (non-emergency) number for the police in your phone.

I think that a bidding war has started in London to see who can 'bend' the most expensive car.
That Range Rover was peanuts. This Lamborghini cost £300,000. Now yer talkin' Quote:

Easier said than done, within 20 minutes drive from home I could be in one of dozens of police jurisdictions, in three states.

(maybe because it's not unusual to get a plethora of menu options followed by an answerphone on the regular number)

Re: The Corvette Sinkhole
I'm watching the Corvette Museum webcam, I think they're about to lift out the black ZR-1 Spyder rfn. It looks pretty damn smushed. ETA: The above link is for Skydome Camera 1. Skydome camera 3 may be where the car will be set down, and thus your best view of the carnage.<--See what I did there?

Thanks V, I hadn't seen that video. I think the site was updated after I posted the link. Unfortunately, you have to sit through a commercial for most videos on the DT site which is a pain in the fundament.
Perhaps the ads are restricted to the UK audience and you have the great good fortune not to be troubled by them! I was thinking earlier today, which is a rare event in itself, but if I could afford a Lamborghini, the last thing I would spend £300,000 ($497,500) on, would be a Lamborghini, or any other similarly pricey car. Maybe it's an age thing.
