Idiot Streamer Crashes McLaren While Texting and Driving in the Rain

Look, if you’re going to do something stupid and illegal, at least don’t record yourself and post it for all of the internet to see. Though I hate the word, this “influencer” found out that filming yourself f-ing around and finding out has consequences, as Jack Doherty now has a crashed McLaren and a ban on the streaming platform Kick.

  • Dave M. My biggest concern…is this going to screw up my cruise out of Miami during the holidays? Thoughts and prayers….
  • FreedMike Man...a storm like this doing a direct hit on a major metro area is going to be an absolute catastrophe. God help the folks down there.
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X When I learned of the Kei trucks, particularly the Subaru Sambar, it was compelling, but too risky and costly in the end. My local Subaru dealer wouldn't support it.
  • MrIcky Having worked several catastrophes for insurance, the following "The bottom line is that if the insurance agency can find ways not to cover the car, they probably won’t." just isn't the way it works. The insurance company will have some drop off areas where cars will be brought. The adjuster will check for water height and draw a line at the high water point with a posca marker. If that line is generally over the electronics- bam, it's totaled, if you have comprehensive they look up your car on KBB and/or NADA by mileage and write a check. Most comprehensive vehicle policies look almost exactly the same-at least for "standard" carriers. If the water line isn't over the electronics, then it generally goes to a shop to get tested. You aren't going to get gamed for a car in a cat loss scenario because there just isn't time to f'with it. After a Houston flooding event I worked 16 hour days for 2 weeks under a big tent like you'd set up for a wedding and went over nearly 100 cars/day taking pictures and sorting them into total or check with mechanic "piles". Most people who had totaled vehicles had a check within 20 minutes of me looking at their car. Buildings on the other hand have all sorts of different terms (commercial or consumer) with regard to how the wind or water entered your building and whether coverage applies.
