Your masters also talk for the sake of airtime, do talk to them about this matter, ok? :D

As long as they find alcohol in the driver's blood that's high enough to say it's drunk driving, the insurance can F care about paying a cent. 

Every car insurance policy has the drunk driving clause. 

Just wait and see. 

Death by immolation, whatever alcohol in the body would have been burnt and evaporated.

Assuming no alcohol was found to be involved, can the sheer act of completely reckless driving also be used by insurer to decline the claim?

But this case is still termed as an accident. I guess it's because while it may have been reckless, it was still an unintended outcome, i.e. accident. Even the title of this thread is also "accident". Most "accidents" would involve at least 1 party being in the wrong. For example, following to close to the car in front and rear ending him due to unable to brake in time or filtering without checking blind spot, etc are also a kind of recklessness. Just that in this case, the extent of the recklessness is quite extreme. So I am just wondering if there are clauses in car insurance policies that exclude themselves in cases of flagrant or extreme recklessness.

That will also depends on how the insurance companies want to play around this, considering this was a high profile case. Back in 2012, the Ferrari 599 GTO case at Victoria Street, I think the insurance did compensated to the taxi driver and his female passenger. As for Ma Chi and his unfortunate female companion of the night, I'm not too sure if they are covered.   

For this case, if the police has eye witnesses coming forward to say that they are already doing rounds before the accident, which I believe the police already had, I guess the insurance company have more valid grounds to argue their case around their definition of "accident". Clearly, this was intended reckless driving no matter how one argues.

I think the insurance company will pay for this incident because it have been a headline for so long, if they pull stun and don't pay, I think will have bad publicity.

 

But then again, if they pay. They will be encouraging other daredevils to perform such acts. So is a tough one here.
