I’m pretty sure people have to pay tbh. Plus the car is a write off and the insurance companies don’t pay out. As it’s not particularly life threatening I think they just allow people to roll the dice
Reynisfjara beach in Iceland. It has black sands and impressive basalt columns so it's popular with tourists. However it also has dangerous currents and sneaker waves that can rush in out of nowhere and take people. We were warned by the tour guide before we got out of the bus in the car park to not go in the water, not go around the end of the cliff as the yellow warning light was on and never turn your back on the ocean so you had time to run if a sneaker wave came in. Still saw a bloke mid calf deep in the water with his back to the sea, taking pictures of the basalt columns. I did shout and tell him to come out but he said that was the best place to get his pictures. Idiot!

Must be time for automatic barriers, huge red lights, huge'' closed for high tide'' signs ----- and a huge sign saying £ thousands for recovery and fine.
That beach I mentioned before in Iceland has traffic lights. I saw a news report from during the week saying the red light was on so the beach was closed due to the dangerous waves. It was still full of tourists taking photographs
