I just hope that the driver will be asked to pay for damages to public property I am a local truck driver and every week I see another wall, bus stop, railing or structure hit and damaged from a car accident. Those on public property never seem to get fixed until months or years later by W&E which means we pay for it. Make drivers insurance or individuals pay to put things back as they found it.
Eeeeediot
The Royal Bermuda Regiment’s first amphibious van…well…sorta
Given the frequency of road accidents like that, maybe it is time to consider lifetime bans from the road.
The tint looks a bit too dark probably did not see the corner. Definatly time for self driving cars.just saw it on emoo one bedroom next to water going cheap.

Dude, you missed the Non Nariners Race by a few months. Nice entry though.

The fancy wheels & performance tires were not enough to compensate for the lack of skill of the driver.
He read about the car/ helicopter for the A C so he thought he might try for a car/boat.
Just wondering, why does Bermuda use wood for crash barriers? How much good does wood do? If anything it is more dangerous than nothing at all. Wood breaks then the pieces are potential lethal projectiles. These things are nothing but decorative fences.
Could the wood fences have been relics of an age when people used pedal cycles more?
He was drunk? It actually takes a lot of skill to put it in there upright.
Hope she`s got bottom paint!
An opinion.
Glad the guy was arrested and not taken and put in a bag.
Shalom.

Car detailing that’s how he washes them.
While it may not be proper for insurance companies to speak to individual motor vehicle collisions or similar events, it is correct, that they will not pay a claim where it has been determined that the driver/operator was under the influence of alcohol. I wonder tho, in cases where there is loss of life, heaven forbid, and/or extreme property damage is the insurance company liable. I believe there was a fund set up a few years ago, whereby every vehicle owner had to pay an additional sum of money to cover those persons injured by un-insured drivers. I think it would be a great idea for insurance companies to speak specifically to drunken driving situation resulting in property damage
Hope the driver is alright and it could have been worst
“worse” brah
I’m glad so many of you find this funny because I don’t. You all wouldn’t be making these juvenile jokes if he had slammed into a vehicle containing your loved ones, killing them all.
not the first time and not the last
