Was he sat on the roof in an armchair, steering it using two ropes?

I imagine he didn't have both hands on the wheel, IYKWIM.

Two crashes, hasn't learned the limits of his ability.

So, Mr Atkinson, have you had any previous claims? Uh huh. And were you at fault? Mmm hmm. And what was the value of that claim? Oh, I seeeeee. <snigger, click>

Speaking from memory here, but in some american states, there is the option to 'bank' a large sum of money instead of having car insurance, and if you crash then the fees get taken from that sum. I can't remember what it's called exactly, but for people Like Rowan Atkinson who can obviously afford to offset enough to cover anything short of driving through a primary school playground and then skidding into a Bentley showroom, it would make sense to let them do that. Plus, they'd save money since if they don't crash then they get the lump sum back when they end the agreement.

£500,000 with the Accountant General of the Senior Courts. BigCorps can use this to handle their own liability.
