I understand that last Saturday night some idiotic driving by a newly passed 17 year old known to my son (not a friend in any way!) resulted in the inevitable clapped out Nova packed with yoof going off on what is not a tight bend after clipping the kerb, through a modest fence backwards and ending up decorating the front garden of a Mr Very Angry.
No grave injuries but a concussion and cuts and bruises all round.
The driver will be facing charges relating to small matters like having taken too much drink and two below limit tyres. Police got quite exercised by the fact that the thing had ultra-dark tints all round apart from windscreen, which itself had one of those very large shade bands so perhaps more to come.
But the marvel of it all is that the moronic driver claimed that "I fink one of my lights must have gone. Could not see the kerb" as the reason for his misjudgement. Sadly, the oh so cool sunglasses had stayed on.

Thank goodness he's OK I guess - but I hope they do do him for everything they can. He could have killed someone!
Seriously though, this guy needs the book thrown at him.
