Does beg the question...... Why would you be on the slipway at 10pm?
Having got stuck some hours earlier, you might try various approaches to extricate your vehicle and not seek outside assistance until your own efforts had all failed.

They connected a chain to his car and pulled it out of the water.
When the dope came back they then issued him a nice hefty ticket for the prvilege.
We should have similar arrangements here - call it an 'idiot tax' if you will.

I enjoyed the spectacle of some dweeb that left his car on a slipway in Dinan France and went off on a jolly in his speedboat. The tide came back before he did and someone called the Pompiers.

This poor driver should be given a placement on a university degree course not punished.
