Reply to comment by froopty1 in TIL at the end of the Top Gear US Special after arriving in New Orleans, the hosts gave their cars away instead of selling them as originally planned after seeing the damage from Hurricane Katrina by PrettyPinkPonyPrince

Nearly stopped a couple of times when he crashed

I wonder what their insurance rate is like? Especially in the UK as well when it's the driver that's insured, not the car (so not anyone can drive it). And to have insurance to drive anything. And with a record of not always driving under the speed limit (with a ton on evidence and millions of witnesses after the fact)

And then, insurance for getting sued by litigious arseholes.

It was May’s turn in the last special they did. Introduced an Evo side on to a wall at 70mph.

Yeah I saw that. Mr Slow crashing at speed ? Who’d have thunk it?

Though he did nearly come a cropper when he nearly exited the Veyron doing 70.

Perhaps there's some clause that changes things since they're driving for entertainment/journalistic purposes?
