Second chances

i think friends do deserve a second chance. That way you can tell whether it was a one-off or whether they are serial tossers.
Example. Ex-m8 of mine at uni we used to hang out. Any women i tell him im interested in, he ended up either snogging them or sleeping with them. He did it 3 times. In each case he knew about my feelings. Now fair enuff if they were up for it and he didnt have a gf but he had a lovely girlfriend (at another uni) and in at least 1 of these cases he was cheating on her - i might add i knew his gf as well and we were friends)
He would always apologise for it and said he couldnt help himself.....lol
Anyway the End of story = me telling him to eff off and never darken my doorway again. 3rd times the charm eh....
no i wasnt up for SSeconds
(+10 kudos if you know what i mean here)

And you'd have forwarded the correspondance to your insurer, who would have settled it for you. Thats how it works - he serves against you, you pass it to your insurer, who deals with it and settles it. Your insurer would then either have won or lost in court and dealt with it accordingly.
I do hope you've not lost a friend over a misapprehension of how our legal system works.

Well I guess if I was the friend, i'd be half tempted to take you to court, but since im a good friend I wouldn't.
So I wouldn't be his mate, I mean you should never trust anyone, but when someone finally reveals their distrust they aint worth your time anymore.

Which he did.
I wasn't happy with him claiming compensation as I just wanted to forget about that night and he wanted to pursue it, so I did what I had to (forward the letter to the insurer blah blah) and left it that.
He got sod all as the employer had paid him for his time off and wasn't going to renew his contract anyway and was annoyed at it so tried to sue me directly.

Driving outside of your ability generally means you don't have 100% control of the car.
Wrecklessness is driving at 90 through a 30 zone and not giving a toss about who else is on the road - which I can do with complete control of the car (but obviously I don't)- that is driving wrecklessly.

hmmm - I disagree.
As I said - I can quite easily drive my car with full control at stupid speeds round the local 30 zones as I know the roads very well - I would put a greater risk to everyone around me who isn't driving wrecklessly from overtakes etc.
Driving outside my ability however, that would be something like drifting round a sharp corner on wet tarmac in a FWD car - considering I've never done any driving like that that's when I would be outside of my ability and what the car does is luck.
