Send her a bill.
The folks in the UK are paying over a grand for this.

Huh, I thought the limeys are so broke they couldn’t afford a tank.

The soldiers were able to rescue the woman Was she good looking?
The spokesperson could not confirm whether the tank was going forward or reversing at the time.
Uh. No more comment.

Small price to pay for not speaking Russian.

Those are not made to be on roads in peacetime Particularly not out in traffic that flows opposite to the tank driver's lifelong experience.

I recall from my time in West Germany in the late 1980s that accidents like this would sometimes occur. The problem is that tactical vehicles barely fit on the roads and the local drivers expect them to behave like cars. Tanks, heavy trucks and the like have limited visibility. Another problem I found was that sometimes young drivers would "play" with our trucks making it difficult for us to change lanes.
In this case since tanks are big, slow and less maneuverable than a car, I'd assume it's the young driver's fault. Even so, she'll probably get a new car from the Brits.
