[QUOTE="MuM_of_OCD_kiddo, post: 459457, member: 12241"] I think you've done all you can do there - time to get the insurance involved, unless you don't mind getting fleeced from the friend and his father [nice friends by the way]. Your son on the other hand - are you really sure you want him to drive a car? Obviously he is a safety hazard on the road and not mature enough to drive, nor appearantly has he learned anything new by accumulating tickets and having multiple accidents. How would you feel if he is driving one of your cars and getting in another accident, but this time killing someone with your [or even his] car? You do realize other than the guilt part, that you can be liable to a nice and hefty lawsuit in a case like this, right? I do not think he should be driving anything that goes faster than 35 m/h at this time. Put him on a bike to go to work or school, make him pay and catch up on his tickets and other damages he has caused, and other than that - let him learn to be more responsible via consequences of his actions... Sorry if I sound mean - but kids like yours in cars scare the daylights out of me... 3 months ago I was almost mowed over by a young driver at a gas station when I was coming out of the convenience center - you should have seen this ole lady jump like a young goat over part of her hood [I didn't know I still could do that!!!]! She would have otherwise hit me frontally in the knees and then proceeded to run right over me. If I would have survived that, I may have never walked again and I need that for my business - lawsuit? You bet! And I am not a trigger happy person... [/QUOTE]
