I assume they did so only after the at-fault driver's insurance was maxed out?
- lonelappde 7y agoIf the law would hold me liable for damages to a car worth over about $100K, even if I was 100% at fault, the law is deeply unjust. At some point the act of putting an absurdly expensive car in public is negligent behavior.
- ehsankia 7y ago> negligent behavior You know what's much more of a negligent behavior? burning a red light. And you know what's even more valuable than a supercar? A human life.
- perl4ever 7y agoPeople can and do put their cars right through houses, which cost much more than $100K. And some houses are situated in spots where people crash into them over and over, like at the end of a T where it isn't visible to a reckless or drunk driver until too late. So wouldn't your logic apply equally to such a house?
- DuskStar 7y agoIf you drive up onto the sidewalk and break both my legs, I would certainly expect you to pay more than $100k if my medical bills came to that. Or more generally, a human life is worth quite a few times more than $100k - does that make it negligent for me to go outside?
- paraxion 7y agoI did wonder that, the article didn't actually specify what happened to the Uber driver. Beyond the inevitable heart attack when your stupidity embeds your Honda Civic into the side of a $3m supercar.
