My youngest son , now 27 has had two cars, written off in the first 12 months of driving.
On both occasions he was 100% in the right.
First crash he wasn't even moving, and was hit by a young fellow, how had pinched his mothers car and had no licence.
The second one a clown pissed to the eyeballs totally him after running two sets of red lights on a duel carriage way.
He had saved and bought cars himself, the only thing i helped him do is hunt the second twit down as he actually drove his wreck from the scene, leaving his two female passengers standing on the road.
On his journey away from the scene he went through a round about, and I mean straight over the top, the flowers and plants were still in the damaged car, when I found it the next day parked in some side street not far from my place, by chance.
I had camera in hand and was photographing it when he turned up, he was nearly sober and admitted it was his, and was very ashamed of what he had done, and reported himself to the police.
I stayed in contact with him, and he agreed to pay 500.00 per month for my sons car, he keep his promise and didn't let me down, I hope he learned a valuable lesson, as after the final payment I have no idea what happened to him, but expect the police did their duty.
My son was not really injured, but now drives so carefully it is nearly dangerous.
