Daisy Turnip says......... Daughter turned 18 last February and finally got her full driving license in March 2008.
Grandad had a couple of grand banked for the occasion. Daddy Dave also had a couple of grand banked to top up for unsuspecting costs for a car that posh daughter was prepared to drive.
Daughter now drives a very posh car for a fashion degree student!
Mommy pays an unbelievably expensive car insurance premium for her daughter to drive her ‘chav’ car.
Mommy and Daddy Dave threatened daughter that if she had the need to claim on her insurance policy, she would have to pay the difference in the insurance cost between year 1 and year 2!
Back in October daughter ‘dinged’ a 4 day old GT Bentley Continental ie £120k – because the stupid wife of the owner was late to pick up her son, and was driving like a total idiot at speeds far too great for the actual road – but we’re not bitter, and we’re trying to move on. HOWEVER, insurance premium moves on up. In fact, only this weekend, we received the renewal quote – it’s doubled to £1,200! Kids and cars – license to print money for insurance companies.
The pain hurt for the duration of the weekend. But we dealt with it and HAD moved on!
I left home for work this morning at 7am, leaving behind a lovely picturesque village, with snow and ice lined roads. And then, an hour later, some swine ploughed into daughter’s car! Moved it from the road on to the pavement in the process! And then s/he drove off, without a note or a knock at the door. How lovely! NOT.
Daughter is now distraught. I am gutted! And I am also brassic – parent of a chav driving car, who promised her child expense free driving whilst she was a student!
Surprise – the ‘swine’ turned up tonight and ‘fessed up – now waiting for insurance details – promised for tomorrow, before 9am. Will let you know how it goes.

How dare anyone drive into my niece's car and drive off leaving you with a day of stress! Still I was relived, on your behalf, that he did in fact turn up at all! Hopefully he will turn up tomorrow with the insurance details.

I recall my first car was a Mini 1275GT cost my Dad £400 - upon handing the keys over to me he said "my gift to you, drive safely and slowly because every penny from here on in is coming out of your pocket" and it did, including high insurance rates for a GT, lots of fuel, the inevitable new driver scrape and repairs to the subframe (carried out on a budget by my best mate's brother with her 60something dad sat if the back with a fairy bottle filled with water in case it caught fire during welding!!! I think our parents may have had something don't you.

Hi Holler, happy new year to you too.
Long time no speak, I hope all is well?

Anon - ur dad was v wise.
welder man - not so wise!
I think parents shouldn't pay for their kids and their insurance premiums! : )
I think kids should never be allowed to drive - too worrying for said parents.
Daugter STILL doesn't have her own her own car back (but does have a courtesy car) - daughter is not happy, and parent is now beyond caring! : )
But - forgot to say - the swine that drove in to her car, did bring round relevant insurance docs! See - always a silver lining! : )
