Default He somehow crashed into a ditch

I'm just in the barbers, waitng, listening to the usual b0ll0cks and of of the women said

'My son carl wrote the car off 1 week after he past his test'

Punter asks how it happened

'Well he was just driving along and he said he had a lapse of concentration and he just ended up in a ditch somehow'

To continue, he is now driving his grandmothers car.

Is it onlh me that cannot understand how some parents can't see the ?

Can't see, don't want to believe, or still see the off spring as that sweet little thing that's 8 yo and cute?

Hehe he, I recall a mate giving his parents a similar story.
He was faffing in the footwell for a tape, banked it and rolled it. FAF!

Nearly as good as one of my Neighbours sons yesterday.

Only 19, drives a 106. A White Subaru Impreza turned up on their driveway the other day, I noticed it wasn't taxed so was going to have a word in his ear about how hot the police are on tax in our area if he was thinking of driving it with no tax.

Saw him yesterday with a bit of a smug grin on his face, quietly announces he's banned from driving. I ask the details, he'd taken the Scooby out for a drive, came across one of his mates and had a bit of a race, as he was pulling back in after the overtake he manages to clip the front of his mates car with the rear of his sending them both into a spin and they manage to take out a gas point.

Police turn up, not only was he racing in a 40 zone, still hadn't taxed the car but also forgot about the insurance. I hope the magistrate throws the book at him.

Will he learn........... I doubt it.

Fledgling racing driver.

You can tell he's a little green because he's left himself open by admitting a lapse of concentration but give it a few years and he'll have moved on to proper, elaborate excuses

I knew someone whose parents bought him a cheap car shortly after taking his test at 17, and he rolled it three times and landed in somebody's backgarden on the way home from picking it up.

I did a few stupid things behind the wheel at that age. It'd be nice to think the reason I didn't have any accidents was skill, but in reality it was probably just luck.
