I don't know about other countries, but in Germany there is Privatinsolvenz which is a personal bankruptcy that would resolve this exact scenario.

Of course it would first be covered by mandatory insurance you have to have when driving a car (if you're not legally allowed to drive a car, well, you're on your own)



FWIW Privatinsolvenz is not instant although the duration was shortened from the very excessive 7 years down to a more reasonable 3 years. During insolvency you're also prohibited from founding/owning companies or freelancing, though.
