RTA
Boggert:
Got called to an RTA today, not unusal in my job, however this was simple maths...
Rich Parents + Spoiled Kid = Fast sports car x Too Confident = Total Distruction
The equation is...
RP+SK=FSCxTC=TD :roll:
According to whitnesses the VX220 left the road at speed glancing a kerb, causing it to spin in the air and then bounce off a tree. I spent about 15 mins collecting all the fiberglass and car parts off the road and hedges.
I found the front lights about 100 feet up the road :shock:
On arrival I thought it was a fatal and was calling up for traffic assistance, but the lad thank god was fine and had just a little whip lash! :shock:
On scene we had... 3 Police cars, 2 fire crews, ambulance, air ambulance, 3 first responders and fire chief.
Comments welcome

And we wonder why insurance is expensive. I'll have to thank the little angel.

We have just been pricing up insurance for our eldest and the cheapest we can find would be when she actually leaves home and goes to Hull uni @ Scarborough............ for a 1.0 Corsa (cheapest insurance we can find for her) it would be over £1000 :shock: So my comment is........ your math seems very good cos who the hell else can afford to insure a car for their children who are just trying to start out on their own :?

It's unfortunate that he didn't suffer more than whiplash and a bruised ego. Something a bit more like a broken leg would of been far more appropriate as a good reminder.

I've done the calculations for myself on such a vehicle, and the companies want at least £3,000. Interestingly my 2A would only be £2,000. :o
Anyway, currently I'm under a parent's policy until I'm working full time to pay the huge insurance premiums.
