Flood - tractor driver

[denso13]

Idiot...

"A business owner says her beauty clinic may never reopen after contents were destroyed by a wave caused by a tractor driving through flood water in Tenbury Wells."

"A number of businesses have told the BBC doors and windows were smashed by the force of waves created by the tractor."

Of course the damage was caused by X [claim on your insurance] rather than Y [claim on my insurance which may not cover floods].

 

[denso13]

The farmer apologised for the damage caused?

Ok, let's just go with the farmer did nothing wrong and the shopkeepers are lying...

 

[motorbiking]

He didn't care about any consequences.

So, deliberate

you don't know this. Careless, stupid, absolutely.

he deliberately drove his tractor down the high street in a flood, does not get you close to criminal reckless damage.

and of course nobody is arguing this.

Civil Damages caused by careless driving - no question. Claim on the insurance.

If you were the beauty shop owner, put to strict proof, unless you have cctv or witnesses, you have no way to prove that the window fell out because of the wave. No way to prove the flood water did not contribute.

You said people will make false claims

[denso13]

you don't know this.

Do you know what evidence there actually is?

Did you see any windows smashing in the clip?

Did you see any windows smashing in the clip?

Do you know, for a fact, there were no windows smashed, caused by the tractor?

Have you seen the new CCTV footage?

 

[motorbiking]

You said people will make false claims

It's not a false claim to believe that someone's actions caused damage, when you are distraught at the destruction of your business due to a flood wall collapsing. It's something else to be able to prove the damage was a direct consequence of someones additional actions and place a value on the repair.

yes I just watched it. I am as curious as you to see if he caused additional damage. I am not defending his stupid actions. I am stating its not criminal damage.

I can't find it.

that isn't what you were insinuating.

Can they prove it?

 

[motorbiking]

Do you know what being put to strict proof is? (genuine question, not trying make you look stupid).

 

[denso13]

Do you know what being put to strict proof is?

You've got some questions to answer first.

Do you know what actual evidence there is? All of it?
