Years ago I had a brilliant low mileage lovely burgundy Ford Escort Diesel, which was stolen.

When he struggeled to master changing gear they've binned it in for an automatic one- no questions asked. Since looking into it I've realised they've had one for years (I could never previously understand how frequently the mother changed her car for a new car).

Diesel or gas fires rarely damage more than one car and a few around it. EVs should not be parked indoors and especially not in public buildings. All those hotels with parking underneath should stop allowing them immediately.

As EVs are far less likely to set on fire, there isn't a problem.

[@michaellowe3665]

@stephenbirchall941 that jury is still out and the evidence is subject to tampering, but even if the EV doesn't start the fire, it will make it much worse. I just don't remember many car park, dealerships, and transport ship fires causing total losses before EVs were in them. Any electrical device that draws 100 KW is a huge risk.

Hi Geoff, if cars are being looted (pun intended) buy the "Looton" salvage crews, then surely, they must be braking into them. Who parks their car in an airport car park and leaves them unlocked?

[@impy1980]

Heat could destroy the glass, heat could mess with electronics. It's also highly possible a window either side gets smashed out so a strap or even just a folk can lift the vehicle. Modern cars also have a central unlock button even if no physical locks to pull, so the vehicles are already compromised from the removal process. Not saying you don't have a point, and extra steps, such as reaching in to press the unlock button, are needed to say get to the boot. As I said in my own comment, when I was at Car Park 1 a month ago, there was a car sniffing around cars more than I thought was necessary.

Hold on Jeff I have recovered vehicles for salvage and part of that process is to remove all personnel items from the vehicle and bag them up for the owners to collect. I've not seen the vids so I'm only saying that is the process so could be misunderstood

[@impy1980]

You're correct, when someone cut across me when their light was red and I clipped their back bumper, but destroyed my wing, my car was towed, and I had to collect my belongings in a clear bag, wasn't much, a cleaning cloth, the car's manual, and a cheap 12V USB adapter, and some random stuff my ex had left in the glove box. So it could be a misunderstanding, however I would expect this to be done at the impound yard so belongings can be correctly logged and stored for collection, not on the salvage site itself, but haven't ever worked in either jobs, I'm only expressing my expectations. I have also witnessed and recorded someone on site at Luton sniffing around cars more than I thought was necessary. But I agree with you we do need more context about the footage, where it was, were workers bagging up stuff etc.

[@allandavies9488]

As for the Airport issue: Why should any insurance company refuse the legal owner access and removal of their property if a claim has not been made? It does not seem legal to me. The dealership issue again is that the cars were in the 'care' of that dealership because of a manufacturing problem. The claim should be against the dealership or even the manufacturer. I have never trusted insurance companies. Another question: It seems insurance companies are writing off and scrapping perfectly good cars with minimal damage. Anything over 10 years old or above 100K miles will be scrapped it seems. This is a total waste. Is their a 'higher' directive we ask??

[@angusnz7910]

Insurance is bordering on a scam. Govt makes you have it to drive on the road (I thinks that’s the uk rule?), but leaves them free to run you into tie ground when you want some of your money back.

[@martinjohnson9316]

It may sound a bit esoteric and even eccentric but as regards buying from a dealer its worth checking whether that dealers garage lies within an recognised Environment agency 'flood area' (check online on their website). I used to work near Inchcape in Derby and the locals confirmed that the area its in, is very low lying and prone to flooding being close to the River Derwent. On another point a local respected car dealer (good reputation) seems to be struggling to get new ordinary car 'stock' because of the 17 cars advertised a massive 75% are Range rovers or Discoveries. I've heard all the stories of insurance costs and LR product theft vulnerability, but he must be a bit worried he has such a big stock that d'ont seem to be shifting?

[@teardowndan5364]

If the iPace was designed half competently, pressing the brake pedal should override all accelerator inputs including cruise control in the computer. In every car with cruise control I have ever driven, the brake switch cancels cruise control too. Police likely got told that the entire brake system was working perfectly fine and that the only way the car could possibly be "out of control" is if the driver never actually tried hitting the brakes. A quick exam of brake pads and rotors would immediately show whether an attempt to stop the car using hydraulics was actually made. I bet the pads and discs were still like-new instead of ruined from absorbing 150+kW until they failed. Also, the car's computers likely had logs on them and I wouldn't be surprised if those confirmed there was no attempt at braking through the whole thing, full-throttle the whole way until the battery died.

In a statement, a Jaguar Land Rover spokesperson told LancsLive: "Following a detailed investigation in partnership with the Merseyside Police and other authorities, we understand an individual has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and causing a public nuisance, relating to the incident on the M62.

Have you heard of the Norwegian ferry company banning EV's on board their ships?

You do like to sail close to the wind with your reviews, I would suggest any assets you have are in your partners name, because at some point a Company with lots of money will go for your jugular

The driver of the car which caused the luton airport fire was told that there would be no charges brought against them. I dont understand why they have not spoken publicly about their experience. Have they be silenced in some way?

[@stephenbirchall941]

I don't think it's suspicious. As the guy driving the diesel Range Rover left his car when he shouldn't have, he clearly wants anonymity. Wouldn't you?

[@impy1980]

Rumour was he was pretty rich, perhaps they gave someone a brown envelope, we'll never know the truth I suspect.

[@stevenoates5333]

JLR is owned by Tata Indian company, are you really surprised that they don't want to know????

[@Numbnuts-]

They should claim from the jaguar garage insurance and not their insurance as then they can claim for a hire car until it's settled. Denied claims are not in good faith, and the insurance company should be reported . If the flood is due to bad design or if flood gates aren't operating properly, then the jaguar garage has a claim from the operators. But your claim is with the jaguar garage . There will be Risk assessments prior to build by the council and signed off.

Insurance companies bullying? SHOCK

[@martinthomas492]

As already stated by me, my insurance premium has increased by 1/3rd, £440 to £664, I was not directly affected by these three incidents, still got my NCB, still got my Eurovision nil pts license, premium being jacked upto persuade us not to drive, insurance just need to tell me I am the wrong sex ,colour, ethnicity or a ICE. Talk about Turkey's voting for Christmas.

@ Geoff buys cars The Jag Driver is in lots of trouble. He lied because he was in debt and wanted to get rid of the jag but couldn't sell it I was informed by a police officer and he was arrested for dangerous driving and attempted fraud how true this is I can't confirm but that's what I was told by a police officer

[@petercampbell4220]

Luton was a lithium fire. If it was not they can publish the VIN, that would show what exactly was in the car. Someone proove I am wrong with the VIN. That number is stamped on the frame, on the loan documents, on the sales contract ( us type commercial code ). Us legal is a derivative of uk common law so no big difference.

[@samrodian919]

It just goes to show that insurance is legalised blackmail as my old dad used to say, and he wasn't wrong was he? With the Luton airport car park fire, I'm Not sure how legally they can stop you getting your own property back if there is no insurance claim for an undamaged vehicle. I'd like to know how whoever is dealing with it justifies their stance on the matter.

Hi Geoff, I suspect Inchcape are dragging their heels as they have / are selling the whole operation to the US Group 1 Automotive concern.

I'm intrigued by the Inchcape flood as I am from Derby and still live near the city. I know the area really well and an acquaintance works at that dealership. He'd left his restored Land Rover at work and gone home via another method. He got more than expected from insurance. 🤔

Hi could you cover an update on the difference types of road camera we are seeing popping up and when there doing. Thank love the vids

[@Roadrunner45]

Hi Geoff, You are in a good position to start a anti-pothole campaign, The J C B pothole repairer can be hired by councils for £600 per month and has already proved itself by use in several councils already. It cuts the time taken and makes a permanent repair. Let’s ask councils why they haven’t adopted this system when it is there already. All you do is add tar. If you wanted to, you could start a petition and maybe make a name for yourself as the man who tamed the pothole problem. You yourself acknowledge how bad things are, let’s do something to awaken councils and authorities to DO SOMETHING. Peter.

Car that hit the school???

[@spectralcav]

The fire was caused by a diesel! Lol... Doesn't really matter what caused it - if no EVs were involved, there wouldn't have been cars melting their way through the concrete and the carpark would still exist.

[@Richard482]

So even though an EV wasn't responsible for starting the fire, it was still responsible due to the size of the fire? When a warehouse is torched, do you blame the person who started it, or the owners for keeping it full of combustible material?

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

@@Richard482 See the storage company in Beirut for that scenario???? Ammonium nitrate, chemicals and fireworks in one warehouse.... Petrol, diesel and EV vehicles in one car park..... oh wait....

[@spectralcav]

@@Richard482 A human being is capable of making decisions and should take responsibility for those decisions. A vehicle cannot decide whether or not it has the capability to burn through a building. Humans certainly are evidently capable of shutting their eyes to that potential hazard - that is what is to blame!

[@Richard482]

@@spectralcav So again, would you blame the person for starting the fire or the people who own the warehouse because it was full of combustible material? It's obviously the fault of the person who started the fire, just like the destruction of the car park was down to that single diesel vehicle. Otherwise each time a building containing cars or has cars in the near vicinity, catches fire due to an ICE vehicle, people will still find a way to blame EVs and claim they must have made the fire worse.

[@spectralcav]

@@Richard482 This case is as if the warehouse were full of paper, but amongst that stock were random boxes of flammable hazardous chemicals that would require specialist training and equipment to extinguish should they ignite. Then someone points out that, if there was a fire, maybe those chemicals could be a problem... and the management responds with 'Nah, don't worrry. It'll be fine'. Surely we should be considering how to mitigate the risk rather than getting hung up on blaming the initial cause especially when that increased risk is so clearly attributable.

[@warbird1992]

I assume the Luton airport fire was the reason that everyone's insurance policies (and not just motor insurance) has climbed by up to 50% on last years premiums? Has that been investigated ?

[@ThomasStanley-c8e]

As far as i know, cars suddenly accelerating by themselves have all been confirmed to be driver errors, including the Prius. For example you can look on an i-pace forum you will see a few have asked this question because it's happened to them, mostly involving write offs. There are many responses from other owners, stating that it's driving error it happened to them too they caught the throttle with their foot while braking or just caught it. It's very strange also how a car the size of an i pace with that power could go into runaway like that and can't be stopped with the brakes, but when the police boxed it in a came to a complete stop. One difference is electric cars can put the power and torque down much faster than an IC engines car, and this can be quite scary, when you don't expect it. It could, I suspect cause the driver to press harder on what they think is the brake, or just the brake. If you know anything about cars you know that driver error is the most likely story. When I was a mechanic I drove many cars where the driver never had this problem but my feet in my boots were wide enough to press the throttle and brake at the same time. For me the pedals needed a wider crank. I even started checking each car before driving and had to press the brake pedal with the side of my foot, luckily I had a clutch and knew how to use it. I saw a video of you talking with a friend about speed assist and he said he was driving a car with it fitted, and it accelerated to 80mph 4 times consecutively while he had the cruise control set to 50mph. I don't believe that story either because he then asked the speed awareness corse instructor what it was and didn't appear to take it to a garage and get a mechanics explanation of what was happening to a car that was doing something we can all agree would be very dangerous. If my car that did that I'd take it to the nearest dealership and leave it there until fixed with a full explanation. Also he stated had the cars cruise control set to 50mph that means you tell the car to stick to 50mph no matter what until you cancel it by pressing the throttle or through the controls. I think you'll find he thought the car was getting too close to the speed limit and doing faster than he thought it should or was used to, so pressed what he thought was the brake or just the brake in a panic. Because guess what there's a switch in the throttle pedal that overrides the cruise control. The first time it happened to me I freaked out and thought why has the car just done that, oh right. I had a customer come in one day complaining that her car was kangarooing when driving over speed bumps. I got her to drive over them which confirms something was happening then I drove it over the same speed bumps with no problem. I said it's your foot, you're moving your foot when you go over the bump. car has a drive by wire throttle, which is really sensitive, and it is a small engine on an automatic in first gear in a small car, the initial response is much faster that what you will have been used to. look I can make it do it on purposes. Her and her daughter having had much bigger and heavier automat cars in the past struggled to believe that the problem was them it took more time than it was worth trying to get them to understand. Interestingly 3 years earlier the same woman had driven her much bigger and heavier automatic car flat out into her garden wall, reversed flat out into her house wall then flat out down her driveway across the road and head on to a parked car flipping the parked car over and once she had written everything off the car stopped accelerating. Just like it did when she changed from D to R and back to D. What would you guess the problem was? The problem was her foot and her more so her panicking. Oddly cars/bikes accelerating was more common in the past because the throttle cable cald jam holding the throttle wide open. Before I started training to be a mechanic I used to have a motorbike and that happened to me within a cable that was intact and I know other people who it has happened to.

[@KAZ8264]

Reminiscent of the infamous Audi 5000 scandal where it turns out the unexpected acceleration was due to driver error, but a strong team of lawyers was able to change the accepted public narrative to it being due to technical issues with the car.

[@tastytechaddictsmtb]

If there are undamaged cars in there it makes no logical sense why they can’t just be removed from the carpark 🤷. Think if it was me I’d just take my keys and go drive it out.

[@yvonnedavies9693]

The insurance companies are thieves, especially SAGA, for the over 50s. I was fully comp for 14 hrs, but they wrote it off for a dent in the front from a tree I skidded into on black ice. Can any car insurance company be trusted to do the right thing? 😮
