I was driving along a country road the other day and a tractor drove out from a side gate and hit my car. Thankfully my 3 year old was in his car seat and only has minor injuries. The tractor was driven by a 12 year old, so it isn't insured. I don't know whether to involve the police because her r grandparents assure me that she is very responsible and it would be really bad trouble for her as she's the age of crminal responsibility. Apparenlty she was only crossing the road to get from the farmhouse to the silage field(they said she carry on doing it because it's normal practice in farming families )
Am I being unreasonable to be a bit cross about this, and to want compensation for my written off car? They have persuaded me not to involve the police, as apparently even though it is technically illegal it is really ok to let her drive. Even if I called the police I wouldn't get any insurance money because she wasn't insured.
