How can the insurance company sell the car without your permission? They
do
not own it - you do. Even after it's been smashed it's still owned by you
and not the insurer, and even though the insurer can decide whether or not
the car will become a legal write-off (though you always have the right to
use an independent *****sor), it's still owned by you!

Maybe in the US or elsewhere insurers claim to have the right to take
owner****p of a pranged vehicle but that should NEVER happen here in
Australia.
