I guess it doesn't happen that often then.

We have one (Aptly called "Stupid Motorist Law" as well

), which makes the driver responsible for all rescue costs, so that the rest of the taxpayers don't have to.

Edit: Up to $2,000 it seems, so I guess it's not super horrible, but a nice chunk of change still.
