That's the way to go Chris...............sue the pants off the guy.

For you who are not aware of the legal system in this country, Chris was in a crash, and the stupid wazak that was driving the other car tried to plead it wasn't his fault, even when it obviously was.

Chris drives a "motability car"...this means that Chris is registered disabled. Chris is also well over the age when he has to worry about what age he is..........the other driver was a kid.

In the UK at the moment it seems you mustn't penalise the young yobbos too much, because it might traumatise them, and set them on a life of crime.

I say B******T.....................If you don't punish these guys now the they will just keep on doing the same thing.

However in the UK just lately the b****Y law is an ass. Whereas over in the US this guy would have been banged up, here he gets a fine and an ASBO. That stands for anti-social behavioural order. Basically he has been told...don't do that again, if you do we will take you to court.

Big deal

Chris and his son both suffered significant injuries.

So the guy got a few quid fine, well Ok a few hundred quid, but he probably doesn't work anyway, amd therefore his fine will be paid from the benefits he gets from the state. Also I seem to remember he was not insured, so Chris cannot get compensation from his insurance company.

So he has to sue for Trauma, injuries sustained and all the rest of the stuff.

So I say it again Chris........SUE the pants off the guy.....................Please.

Just want to add, as an edit , that the young yob will probably be driving around again already, in a stolen car with no insurance............so somebody else will have to go through the same thing.

You might guess that just this same thing has happened to a friend of mine, only in this case the driver of the other car was an asylum seeker,,,,,,,,,,,,same rules apply.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
