Hope these help. Seems to have bounced off the wall before going through the railings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I guess there will be another over reaction to this incident with all sorts of restrictions and expensive barriers installed to prevent a once in 110 year incident! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t a senior advocate go over about there, 40 years ago. Shorter odds than you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really really isn’t the time to start crowing about the irresponsible yoof. We were all irresponsible yoof once. I hope he’s not hurt and that someone who loves him is taking care of him. That’s what really matters. Current rumour is that it was a girl who passed her test about three weeks ago. Raced past the Lifeboat house, collided with the offside wall and bounced back across the road and through the railings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the tide could have possibly dragged the car into the Harbour resulting in the Ben my Chree being unable to berth, it doesn't matter how much it cost, all expenses will be forwarded to the car owners insurance company, and thats why this R plate drivers insurance will cost a fortune to renew, thats if his/her licence is still valid and not taken away before renewal!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not just as simple as a place to hang out though, you can hear them regularly ragging cars back and forth, so you aren’t just looking for a nice car park with facilities, you also need to find a road nearby without neighbours to annoy and with little risk of them injuring anyone, that’s probably why you’re struggling to find somewhere. Maybe the Police need to view the CCTV footage of this place and knock on a few of the doors of these irrisponsible individuals.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you need to be an adviser on the Isle of Man Emergency Services forum, they are obviously missing something... like your opinion! #justsaying 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
