How Stupid Are Some People - I'll Just Leave This Here ......

[Gizmonster]

I'm lost for words at how stupid some people can be; or was it a case of the guy thinking/hoping that the police would be stupid enough not to check his car out:

..... anyway, the car is now where it belongs :)

what's with people not insuring expensive cars? I can't help wondering if there isn't a wider story behind all this.

[naomi24]

There has to be more to this story - surely?

Buy nice car - can't afford insurance - want to impress ya prom childs mates = car seized and the world thinking ur a moron.

People buy nice cars, can't afford to insure them and just drive them uninsured now and again for their ego.

What are 'ya proms childs mates' please in English ?

[jim360]

Perhaps the berk knew that he was guilty and just wanted to help the police finish the job properly. :)

"ya proms childs mates"

Your childs friends, who are also going to the prom.

[Zacs-Master]

A case of believing you are above the law. Which went a bit pete tong.

I suspect many of these types think driving an expensive car means plod wont touch them.

What they dont realize is that they are most likely to be looked at even more!

[andy-hughes]

It's clearly not a case of being unable to afford insurance, more likely simply not thinking about it.

People are eternal optimists - the guy who has forgotten to insure one car is likely to have forgotten to insure the other one.

Another explanation is that he has 'people' to do that sort of thing, and they have dropped off.

I fail to believe that you "forget" to insure your super cars.

If you have earned the money to buy a car like that, you may well be too busy to attend to the details.

The problem with Criminals is that the ones that get caught are the Stupid ones !! The intellegent ones get away with it !!

"How Stupid Are Some People" - the average IQ is 100, 50% of people are thicker than that and 50% of those are thicker than them. Never underestimate human stupidity.

we have a saying at work, nothing is idiot proof as they are making better and better idiots every day!

[Zacs-Master]

Some of 'em cant even string a proposition together in English.

[ToraToraTora]

It's worse than that ZM, 16m+ cannot comprehend a simple statement and a suggestion when it's written on the side of a bus!

[Zacs-Master]

Ha!

"If you have earned the money to buy a car like that, you may well be too busy to attend to the details."

That ideology doesn't run with me, personally. If anything, earning the money for a car like that, means you should be aware of things here and there, such as opportunities business or personal.

Everyone knows cars need insuring. No such thing as "too busy i forgot".
