2 Week Write Off.
My son was coming up to driving age and I was copping a lot of flack about driver training from the chief. She has a new corolla and I have a 5.8 litre V8 and we didn't want him in either car. Under new laws, he needed 60 hours worth of log book driving. So I bought a 4 door 2litre manual sonata to learn on. He did the 60 hours, no cheating, passed the test and got his licence.
Two weeks later, he followed cars turning right at a green arrow and was rammed by someone coming the other way, ignoring the red light. He and his passenger are lucky to be alive. 2 weeks after getting a licence. Is this a record? It took me a year at least to write off a car when I got my licence.
The airbag deployed and the car is a writeoff. No witnessess apart from his passenger saw it and the passenger is classed as a bias wittness. So, it is his word against the other guy. Wipe one car and drain the bank account again.
I was living on an Island off burma in the 80's doing navigation for oil search. I should have stayed there.
