Default Why you shouldnt drive without the correct papers

Today i was loading on golf 1 a glass collection truck, we was traveling along nicely done our route nearly finnished ahead of time, we then came off the main road and went down the rural road to start the 2nd part of our route.

We had just turned the corner when this ford fiesta came skidding towards us brakes full locked, our driver tom swerved and thankfully the other guy only hit our tyre. however...

When we got ou the guy started giving it all the attitude but quickly shut up when the welsh wizard started shouting you better calm down before we get there, so the guy backed off.

Our driver then asked him for his insurance details and guess what.........

eeeerrrrrmmmmm its my car but eeerrrrmmm i havnt got a licence and im not insured.

So we called the police and to cut a long story short the guy is now facing the following.

Theft, dangerous driving, speeding, driving without due care and attention, and also driving without a licence and whilst being un insured.

The guy is 17 years old and is now facing 2 year ban costs to the damage to our lorry and maybe even 6 months inprisionment.

The car is virtualy new and i can tell you its a total write off because the lorry acctualy ran over the bonnet the engine is now nakerd the axle is collapsed the entire front wing bonnet door radiator wheel brakes and bumpers are completely destroyed.

The guy later admited that he was doing 70 and mesurements of his skid marks reveled he hit our lorry at around 40mph.

So if your impatient and want to drive and think this wont happen to you please do think again because this guy was lucky hitting our lorry he was lucky that he didnt hit the bigger lorrys and at that speed hiting another family car he could have killed some one.

SO TO ALL THE GUYS ON SUBSIM WHO CANT DRIVE YET OR LEARNING PLEASE DONT DRIVE UNLESS YOU GOT A LICENCE !!!!!!!
