Just a quick response.
I 'assume' he was on drugs, because he rang his mum to come and get him, whilst running away. He told her he had been drinking, and had drugs in his system. My neighbour was pacing him down the street while this was happening, and heard everything that he said. My neighbour was reluctant to physically apprehend him, so was in his ear for about a kilometre.
The road was dry, the sky was clear. There was no moisture on the road at all. The temperature was about 8 degrees, but the wind was strong. People down the street that he came up, stated that he was speeding heavily.
The gearshift lever was snapped off inside the car, too. I'm not sure if he was holding the lever and broke it, or if the skate over the drainage ditch really smashed up the transmission.
Rat, I see that you are a car person. So am I. I'm also a grown-up, who values his property over the wellbeing of idiots who put themselves and others at risk, on public roads.
If this clown had stayed and faced things as a man (he is 26), my opinion of him as a person would be much different to what it currently is.
To be on P-Plates at 26, suggests 2 things to me. 1. He got his license at an older age. 2. He has been done for a drink-driving offence before, and has had to start again. Irrelevant to what happened, for the most-part, but maybe an insight into his mindset.
My insurance covers the retaining wall, so I will have nothing further to do with the guy, unless he comes over to apologise for being an idiot.
