If a driver rammed someone's car and drove away in the UK, would the victim's insurance company pay for the damages?

Translated from a French newspaper:

"Banned after tragic accident - Driver was wearing stiletto heels -

A young woman whose car struck two pedestrians - leaving one dead and another seriously injured - was yesterday banned from driving for two years.
Catherine M., 25, pleaded guilty to careless driving.
(…)
Catherine M. was attemping to stop for a red light when her stiletto heel got stuck on the gas pedal. She panicked and struggled to pull it off, but only managed to press the gas pedal harder. This caused her vehicle to run over pedestrians Nicole P. and Laurence L.
(…)
She was wearing shoes with 7-centimeter-heels at the time of the accident."

Would it be the same here in the UK ? Is it illegal to wear high heels for driving ?

Ok here's the scoops: I own a Jetta that until recently ran fine. In the past 2 mos. it's been in the shop and I've paid over $2500 in repairs. Now it's basically busted again and the engine needs replacing which will cost $4000. I've had it checked out at several repair shops which all tell the same story. Also I still have $11,000 balance on my auto loan. Is there a feasible way to get out of my loan. I'm a college student and just can't pull strings to get another $4000 for more repairs !!!! Other notes:Since I'm in school I probably couldn't get another auto loan unless I quit school, AGAIN, so I have employment history, paychecks, etc.. Also I don't want a co-signer OR trade my piece of junk Jetta for another car. Basically I'm looking for way out of my loan. After this experience with my Jetta, riding public transportation has been an oasis !!

I bought a car insurance for my housemate who promised that if I buy his car insurance + mine (as a second driver) he would take me with him for practice lessons. Now I have bought the insurance(on 19th nov) using my credit card and he doesn't want to follow what he said!! after some heated argument I decided to cancel the insurance but is it legal for me to cancel it over phone by giving his details(date of birth) as he's the primary applicant.

P.S: I bought the insurance online

I was saddened to hear that James Kim's body was found earlier
today. He and his family had been stranded in Oregon in below-
freezing temperatures for over a week. They had a cell phone
with them, but apparently there was no cell phone coverage in the
area they were in.

My question is - would another form of communications
technology have been able to reach out from that remote area?
A satellite phone? shortwave radio? CB?

this is a high speed glider launch winch. Drive is actually 1st 2nd and 3rd auto shifting, when it gets to 3rd we want it to stay there till the launch is complete, at present it is changing down and breaking the cable as the speed has to reduce higher up the launch, when we still need a strong pull.

If passenger jet wings are made of fibreglass covered with a thin layer of aluminium how did they manage to break through solid steel reinforcement to enter the twin towers twice within half an hour on 9/11 ? Why were the wings able to enter as shown on the video film like a knife cutting thru butter ?

My husband's car had met with an accident last dec. The occupants in the other car against which his car had collided sustained minor injuries. He took them to the hospital and gave them first aid etc. They had filed a case for compensation in june 2006. The case is being fought out between their lawyer and the insurance company representing my husband as the car had third party comprehensive insurance. My husband has not been involved in the proceedings, he only gets the summons from the court requiring him or his lawyer to be present for the hearing. Till date he has not gone for any hearing as the insurance company has adviced that their lawyers will be representing him. Now we have been transferred to tamil nadu from Karnataka. What are the formalities that my husband should follow before leaving this place with respect to court proceedings or change of address etc.
