Why you shouldnt drive without the correct papers

Kapitan · 09-12-06, 12:42 PM

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 !!!!!!!

Meh, all he'll probably get is a slap on the wrist and a ban and possibly given points on his provisional. Were it you or I speeding by a few miles per hour it'd be fines this, points that, the whole shebang.
Still I suppose his insurance (when he finally gets another motor) will be about a million quid :rotfl: as nobody will trust him behind the wheel of a car as a 'safe bet' - If only insurance companies only stiffed people like him and not the rest of us...
I guess it's a shame he didn't run into the back of your lorry, perhaps then you could have given him the privilage of a front row seat as you fed his car into the crusher bit of the dust cart :p

He almost had the privlage of going under our front wheels if it wasnt for tom swerving then it would have been head on.

Thankfully its only a 7 tonne glass cart and not a 26 or 33 tonne dust cart i even said to the guy if it was one of our charlie dustcarts then you would still be in the car and we would be cutting you free.

Speeding on rural British roads? He deserved to die. Find an approapriate safe track. Long and wide straight highways.

My friend's uncle (Hugh Grant) takes him at 100 mph down those kinds of roads in his Aston Martin

. I'm surprised he's still alive.

Out of what already said about drive license and speed limit, anothing key point here is about driving without insurance.

Someone thinks that it's just a minor fault, and a manner to save money; according to local laws, the first thought sometimes is right, the second never.

The little money saved on insurance often drives to a total financial disaster, when you have to pay by your pocket for a really serious car accident.

Yes quite true and when its not just your car you managed to wrap round a tree, it could be that your paying for other cars if it was your fault, now immagine a six or more car pile up you would have to pay for them cars either to be repaired or a new one and tow charges for them.

Going to cost alot of money.
