Police ram runaway electric iPace after brakes fail on M62 (debunked)

[Rolfe]

Maybe he already had so many points on his licence that another offence would be a disqualification and he'd lose his job? Then he panicked?

 

[Gomev]

It seems quite bizarre to go to such lengths and risk writing off a car, in order to possibly escape a speeding fine/points. There has to be more to it for someone to cause a major incident involving many police vehicles, who are also risking injury and vehicular damage.

Just why?

Once you start a lie the hole you are digging just gets bigger and bigger until you reach the point of no return and have to continue digging.

 

[Rolfe]

That's what I think.

 

[Susanna]

I think you are both right. But what a monstrous situation to put other drivers and the police into. I hope he gets a jail term.

What happened with the runaway ZS in Scotland, I don't recall seeing any conclusion to that one?

Not a dicky-bird since it splashed in October 2023. I think that is quite telling.

Here's the one and only post he made on the issue.

Post in thread 'Interesting/worrying story from Scotland - ZS with no brakes.'

Oct 4, 2023

Hello. My name is Brian Morrison and i can verify that everything in my facebook post is 100% True.

I am still shaken up. How dare most of you even consider i am lying after what i went through driving home from Kilsyth through Kirkintilloch and heading towards Bishopbriggs where i live.

It does not matter to me what people think, but please think about peoples mental health who could still be struggling after such an incident.

I was coming here to actually post all about it, to see if anyone had similar issues .... and shocked to see so much negativity

• MGZS

• 
• 

It doesn't come over particularly genuine to me. And the guy apparently had a reputation as a prankster. But I don't believe he's been charged with anything.

What suprises me is. He's suprised about Negativity on Fakebook.

 

[Susanna]

That was a very strange one. Juggling phone calls to his wife, and then the police for assistance, and then ending up with no damage to his car, after apparently having to crash into a vehicle. Quite a puzzle.

 

[Rolfe]

And not even the slightest attempt to put his side of the story. People would have listened, even if they'd interrogated him. But just one post about negativity then a flounce.

Driver of 100mph ‘rogue’ electric car charged with driving offence

Nathan Owen said a fault in his Jaguar I-Pace left him without brakes at 100mph on the motorway.

It seems the driver of the jag was being economical with the truth.

This reminds me of the time my phone went rogue and it ended up spending £2500 on Onlyfans subscriptions… nightmare.

I hope you took screen shots as proof...

...that it was your phone's fault

What are you suggesting

Be careful what you ask for.

With Copilot Actions, you can ask it to browse the internet on your behalf.
Luckily it runs in a sandbox and will stop every time credentials are required, but you can automate that part too without an AI

How do we know you are not an AI?!?

That depends on whether you took the red pill or the blue pill.

Well that’s the thing: detecting bots and automations can be tricky but has been done. Detecting AI will simply get to the point where it’s intractable.

Sounds like a job for AI

A quantum AI perhaps

WOW! Now there's a, suprise. NOT.

 

[securespark]

I can't afford to keep up repayments on my car.

Shall I:

A. Go to a debt councillor?

or

B. Pretend my car's brakes and accelerator are malfunctioning, drive at excessive speed on a motorway, risking others, get the police involved and then claim the vehicle was faulty in order to avoid the remaining payments?
