They should get charged for the salvage otherwise that's 80l of fuel + jerry cans and 20L of oil right in the water.

Ever seen the excess on rental vehicles??? they will be up for a couple grand at least.

Still not the worst thing. The absolute best is a couple of Japanese tourists trying literally to DRIVE to stradbroke island because google maps said there was a read to it. So there is the picture of their car nearly up to the windows in sea water and still trying to keep going while in the background a cruise ship sails by.

Sadly, these people are allowed to breed.

Link please.

Further ~ on the Thread title....seems the hand brake had been applied, but the car was left in neutral (according to Ch 9 News.)

I thought the only real skill a taxi drive had was keeping up with current affairs and having an opinion on it? You must be one of the few Queenslanders unaware of this. When I mentioned this at one of our training courses up your way one of the students was actually there and saw it happen. He laughed so much I was ready to have to resuscitate him.

Last rental car I got from a mainstream mob was $4k or $10k for unsealed road. No cover for snow or crossing any kind of water.

I bet the rental mob will hit them for the full amount as they'll see it as neglegence above and beyond anything that could occur as normal driving.

I blame Islam, but that's just me.

No, Karnal. When a Muslim leaves the handbrake off it's to run a vehicle through a crowd killing and injuring as many people as possible.

Hope this helps your confusion.

Thanks, Islam.

How dare you joke about these mass murders.

Revolting.

Not joking, jsut bringing it to your attention.

You think it's funny. How could you.

Disgusting.

No. You support the ideology that leads to this.
I'd have you in an orange jumpsuit you disgusting traitor.

You vile, hideous example of a human being. I'd call you a race-traitor, but you're not from our race.

Your type will be dealt with in the fullness of time, don't you worry about that.

Diabolical.

This is what you're defending. You're filth.

I haven't defended a thing, you anal fissure. You're making jokes about our people dying in the street. You're no more than pond scum.

Hideous.

You defend it by failing to acknowledge it's root cause. ISLAM

I blame Islam. Happy now?

Utterly vile.

I hope they get pinged for the lot especially since the girls were only crying because they lost their PHONES!
