Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / May 2008Should Drivers Who Cause Highway Crashes Be Billed For the Expense?
The cops and paramedics have to come out and rescue the injured and the highway may be shut down for hours. All this costs money to the taxpayers and i say the speeder or DUI or whatever that caused it should be billed big time - like maybe $50,000. When mountainclimbers have to be rescued, they are sent a bill for the rescue effort. > When mountainclimbers have to be rescued, they are sent a bill for the > rescue effort. Nope not always. They may be sent a partial bill, or maybe not, depends on the circumsatcnes. BTW, climbing a mountain is not drunk driving. jerry warner <"warne(na)"@mchsi.com> wrote in news:481D7BF7.C1CACA43 @mchsi.com: >> When mountainclimbers have to be rescued, they are sent a bill for the >> rescue effort. > > Nope not always.

It's pretty much SOP to bill climbers who need to be rescued esp if it's their own damn fault. > The cops and paramedics have to come out and rescue the injured and the > highway may be shut down for hours.

Yes, as long as we can also bill sloths and LLBs for the number of hours of agony they cause commuters who are unfortunate enough to get stuck behind them. |
