Regardless of the dad not wanting him to do a stretch inside, he was already on a suspended sentence!! terrible decision imo.

The family could have said they lent him it (if insurance wasn't an issue) but still deserved a little more for driving like a tool.

Morba · 22 Apr 2008 at 14:25

lent it to him even though he's a learner?

Can DSC save your recycle-based sense of humour NathanE? It's like all the pages except that one fell out of your old joke book

Lucky to walk away from it, he could so easily have been that kid from california with his Dad's M5.

Can't blame the Dad for not wanting to see his son go to jail.

Yes because forking out to lock him up for however long would have done society much better. :rolleyes:

well giving him a suspended sentence really works..
he has previous history, all other attempts to get him to be a normal law abiding citizen hasn't worked.

"his father's quite understandable anger." Understatement of the year!

No mention of points, ban, etc?
