As witnesses to the accident, surely they’d have to stop and give details? Or are the laws different in the USA?

Didn't know you HAD to stop. I have witnessed accidents but because there have been other cars much closer I've just driven on.

IANAL but AFAIK, only the drivers and other participants have to stop. RTA 1988 says nothing AFA I can see about an obligation on a bystander to provide a statement. The only reference I can find is: However that is about an obstruction of a vehicle inspection rather than a failure to provide a witness statement. _________________Jim

Some good fun but I do wish they spun it out to 90 mins. My fave has always been the Lotus.

There are probably enough cars to do it as well. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

They covered the Lotus extensively but would have loved to have say a road test of each vehicle too.

Tbf, the majority of Bond cars are pretty generic. There's only the DB5 and the Esprit that people actually really remember. The 200GT is rare which makes it vaguely interesting but other than that....the modern Astons are nice cars even those, you wouldn't be that surprised to see one in the street.

I laughed at Hammond talking about shameless product placement in one of the older films - the Craig series knocks that into a volcano hideaway.

When you consider the financial state of the studio they had no option but raise as much money upfront from product placement. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

I was watching the 2000 GT thinking, hmm... I'd quite like to drive one of those, I wonder if there are any on Auto Trader? And then came the line... "They are so rare that a second hand one like this will set you back half a million quid".
