    A side question... Will the owners now cop a fine for polluting. Diesel, oil, etc in the ocean? Will a recovery even take place or do they just leave it... ?

    I think regardless of a working handbrake or not, vehicles should not just be able to roll into the ocean. You would think there would be some bollards or something in place to stop them if they do move. Wonder who's insurance needs to cover it?

    Bloody Toyota handbrakes!

    I agree... At the moment it's just a good laugh, But what happened if people where in it and it rolled off and they got trapped and died.?? Dare say the Captain would be a world of chit for not putting the ramps up.

    If they were in it you would think they would put their foot on the brake.
    As for the insurance I'm not sure I want to be the one having to explain that. Any rental car wouldn't be covered one bit as they exclude ferries. I wonder how it'll go. I'd take up scuba diving if it was my truck and see what I could recover
