Default Man Steals Car & Crashes Off Cliff

In the below item...

BBC NEWS | England | Tyne | Stolen car driver in cliff death

Now as tragic as this is it begs a question...

If it was an accident, that could be construed as poetic justice by some of us, but if it was suicide, then why on earth steal a Nissan Primera?

If you're going to top yourself, then surely you'd chose something more interesting than one of those. I certainly would.

Poor car.

If he was a car thief and lost control, good, another one off the street

If he was a suicidal fella, well done for not taking anybody else out in your quest to shed your mortal coil.

Perhaps the lad was suicidal but had an inbred hatred for Taxi drivers ?

He probably was'nt suicidal until he realised his mistake, of stealing a Nissan Primera, and decided the only thing to do,to save face was take his own life rather than admit to stealing a nissan Primera

If he wanted to commit suicide, that's fine by me and as long as the car is insured by the owner I've not shed a tear over the thieving scum killing himself in in if it was an accident either.
I could think of a better tin coffin though!!

Well - I'm probably going to get flamed for this but good - one less car thief !
If it was my car stolen and the thief killed himself (and no one else) by driving it off a cliff - I would not lose any sleep !

Has to be suicide:

You can't lose control of a Primera - no matter how hard you drive them

Cant see how it was an accident by just loosing control

Apart from the Car parks the main road is a long way off the cliff edge.

Would have had about 5 minutes to jump out onto the grass if hed lost control on road before reaching the cliff top.

Wasn't the Nissan Primera advertised as the car they don't want you to drive!

Will I guess that one is safe now!

If it was a thief, not much sympathy, although a death sentence might be considered a little harsh I guess.

If it was a suicide, that's very sad for everyone concerned.
