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!
There's nothing stopping your neighbour separately suing for damages Ken.

My son Jake found the spot she drove through in Google Maps showing what it looked like. In amongst those trees were very thick fence posts.

She totally mowed down everything insight from that gate on the right, to right down to the house!

Compare the original (and the trees had thicker trunks since this pic was taken) to the damage pic.

and from Google Maps here is the Drivers view approaching the left turning bend where she lost control and went to the right.
I marked her path with yellow lines.

Ah Ken,

All excitement up there. 120 in a 50 zone?

Bet she just can't understand how it happened. Maybe, she'll learn, but I'm thinking not! Lucky those fence posts moved!

Dazz, the 120k was our Country Cop's estimate by the 'amount of damage X distance travelled' blah blah some theory

Yes, those thick posts were a metre into the ground! If we hadn't had so much rain lately which softened the ground, they would have been set in like concrete!

Here's the holes left after she tore them out:
