I’m able to rent one (on a proper racing track) for an hour every other weekend
Hmmm…Be really interested to know a little more about that ETS. eg, which track? Cost?
ETS:
switchlogic:
Still ignoring the fact that these cars probably have next to no impact on our insurance premiums. The general public aren’t responsible for damage to any vehicle, people who cause at fault accidents are. And generally your premium goes up because you’ve had a claim, not depending on how much that claim was, so I don’t see the extra stress. You just want a nanny state probably out of jealously that you can never afford oneIgnoring the fact that probably…is it a fact cos if it is then it doesn’t have an impact and if it isn’t then well…neither of us knows for sure whether they do or don’t affect our insurance premiums as we’re both too lazy to go do a research. What is undoubtedly a fact is that these cars do contribute towards a higher average value of vehicles out on the public roads which is likely taken into consideration, I would strongly believe, by companies who sell auto insurance products. You can guess who pays a higher health/life insurance premium in total or on average per player, a club from the Championship or one from League 2 even if both are likely to have some low value players.
Don’t worry, I’m not jealous of your Aventador and I don’t have to be able to afford to own one if I’m able to rent one (on a proper racing track) for an hour every other weekend.
By the same logic why should we pay the relatively more serious personal injury bills of those who are involved in accidents driving small less crash worthy poverty micro cars.Because their spending priorities are more towards their drinks bill and paying for a home extension etc etc.Oh wait that obviously doesn’t fit the politics of envy agenda.
But yes I think it’s reasonable that there should be a cap on vehicle damage payouts in at fault claims only applying to such extreme types of cars.With the owner offered a full comp top up insurance option to cover the cap difference also at a reasonable premium.Even in cases where the insurer would otherwise refuse full comp cover.
As for the Aventador at least it’s got the right amount of cylinders and not all public roads are like the M25 at a bad time of day. 
The laughable thing is that many super car type owners will lock the thing in the garage and book a cheap flight for a foreign trip rather than use the thing for what it’s designed for.Although not in this case being the worst of all worlds of not a long distance GT car nor a proper stripped out more track focused race car that you can also afford to stuff into a barrier here and there.All seems as ironically pointless as it being in lane 2 of the M25 crawling in traffic congestion deliberately created by a ‘smart motorway’ with a truck on its offside.Rather than at least using a cross country non motorway route.
