I'm fuming, as long as I have known DP he has always been an idiot on the roads, he speeds constantly, has been involved in illegal street racing (although he says it wasnt as "serious" as that, just lads messing about ) and he has a habit of revving the engine when people walk in front of the car or if he passes a cyclist etc, basically he's just an idiot driver.
He did have a chavvy small car that was modified to chav standards and cost a fortune to run and insure, it was constantly breaking down and was eating away at his bank account. He has 6 points on his licence and has been cautioned etc for speeding, I refused to drive the crappy car and so we eventually agreed to take his shit heap off the road and we bought a nice volvo, £10k it cost us but I loved it. I said he could drive it if he was sensible in it and drove it properly, its hardly the kind of car to go chavving it up in anyway.
Today he phones me, voice shaking...he's been involved in a crash "someone went into me" he says...eventually the truth comes out "well, it was 'partly' my fault, he tried to overtake me and I sped up so he couldnt get back in the lane and he went into the side of me" . So basically it was 100% his fault! I'm so pissed off, the new car is damaged, the insurance will go up and yet again he acts the dickhead.
