I cannot wait for this. Sounds unbelievable.
On a depressing note, I was watching an episode of Road Wars the other day. BMW X5 doing way over the limit on the wrong side of the road totals a little mazda leaving the woman critically injured. Police get there and find a drunk man from the local traveller site crawling through the nearby woodland with facial injuries concurrent with airbag impact. Turns out the guy has a prior for drink driving and then punching a police officer at the scene. They go to his place of residence and ask his wife if she recognises a BMW X5 and she says she's never seen one before.
They can't pin it on this bastard even though:
(1) He's at the scene of the crime.
(2) He's raging drunk and has OBVIOUSLY just been in a crash.
(3) He has priors for drink driving.
(4) CCTV footage shows the X5 leaving the travellers site 3 minutes before the crash, then just after the crash a load of this guys mates running out (presumably to help remove incriminating evidence from the car.)
(5) He admitted being in the car.
So this poor woman is disabled for life and this scumbag gets away with it, because apparently they can't PROVE he was driving, even if he was in the car. I was flabbergasted. It's more or less the same as being caught by a dead body holding a smoking gun and getting away scot free.
