No but neither do they ever think it will happen to them either. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A newish Fiesta will take a good beating with all the airbags and protection zones. Thirty years ago you wouldn’t even have a seatbelt on. On average sure, but there's always a chance of something unusual causing more injury than you'd expect for a particular crash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, the ‘oh well the insurance will sort that out’ they’ll probably get a decent payout, probably more than the car is worth, as will any passengers putting in injury claims, what exactly is the lesson to be learned? At 17 he’s extremely unlikely to have fully comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 32 minutes ago, Annoymouse said: So save us the bullshit, how exactly did it happen then? I’ve not seen the video but the fact someone was recording the journey in itself raises suspicion. The police message actually refers to "video footage of the crash scene [that] has been circulated via social media platforms such as Snapchat". Which may suggest this was someone filming the aftermath rather than the journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My youngest has fully comp insurance in her own name and is still a learner. It was the cheapest way of doing it, and will only be another £50 once she passes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very few TPF&T insurances these days. Our young fella was on my insurance as a named driver from 16 - fully comp and now has his own now at 22, again fully comp. If you search for TPF&T these days you don't find many that do it anymore and its hardly any cheaper (in fact often more expensive for some reason) Edited January 13, 2022 by Happier diner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 HP agreements for cars usually indicate fully-comp is a prerequisite whatever age, don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
