At 6.15 Sunday morning we had police at our door to tell us that our 17y.o son had been involved in a car accident and was being taken to hospital.
When we arrived we were told he had a broken nose, fractured skull and multiple facial cuts after going through the windscreen of a car that had hit a tree being driven by a friend who had been drinking, so obviously no seat belt was being worn.
Both were at fault, it hits home a bit harder when it is one of your own so to the parents out there with kids just about to venture onto our roads maybe one more plea to take care and come home in one piece.

Mick sorry to hear about your stress and the worries of your son's welfare and health. They never really learn, being there to support them is good but they need to realise what their actions could have done (or did do) to them and their friends. it will only hit home when they feel it personally. You and i were bulletproof once - I lost my magical powers of invincibility one night, changed me. I hope it changes your sons views and outlook on life. Glad he will mend. As for the driver - well - he needs some Special High Intensity Training followed up with a dose of reality
