He is fuming but his Lawyer says there's nothing he can do because . . simply . . she wasn't insured.
Also, if his cattle had got out, he was responsible not her! 
All because a stupid 18 year old twit decided to go flat out at night and lose control!  |
I'd make this sort of thing an election issue. Make the pollies change the laws covering insurance. Take this to your local member and say if nothing is done about this sort of nonsense, then he/she won't be in a job come next election. Only way you'll be getting any satisfaction out of this. Get enough people to back you up and you'll be seeing what your typical politician is good at....kissing butt. Make it a national issue...all you need is the gumption to do it.
I'd also be saying something about youngsters being allowed to drive. Bad enough having irresponsible adults behind the wheel, let alone giving some clueless youngster the controls.
