I edited for clarification. The hilarious part to me is that this thing is on the better half of a million dollars and they couldn’t figure out a fancy way to get to the roof. So I’m left imagining some dude in a tuxedo climbing the ladder with a table in tow.

I’m not dead! I’m not gone! Jeezis, Rory, you scared me and I had to check my pulse. Also, I ave mentioned this amazing cam system before, but I’m glad to see it getting its own post. https://jalopnik.com/were-finally-entering-the-age-of-fun-animated-lighting-1847609520

Jason ‘...is no longer around’ leaves a certain impression, man.

Yeah. I believe the theory is you recover damages from the owner, and then it’s up to the owner to go after the actual driver.

I feel like there’s something missing in this story. Maybe he left his key in the ignition or something, but even then that wouldn’t be enough to create civil liability (at least in my state). It also doesn’t make sense that the insurance would drop his coverage.

In almost all instances, damage done by a vehicle follows that vehicle and then to its registered owner. For example, the damage done to the bus was caused by the car and would be the responsibility of that car’s owner (and their insurance)…hopefully his liability is sufficient to cover it.
