No idea police just said he will be reciving a big fine and have to go on the course.
I didnt want to know why they might not be paying, i want to know can they take my car off me and not give me anything? Or do they have to give me my car back if they dont pay?

I agree with you, but truck drivers who leave petrol stations with there tank brimming then go round roundabouts at ridiculous speeds are also to blame. A week after I crashed a motorbike came off and hit the exact same tree and died at the scene. Pretty much a hotspot for accidents as the roundabout has a petrol station on it.
Copper even put it in the case.

Hotspot for accidents is a terrible excuse, if it's a hotspot how did you manage to crash?

Other people unaware that it's a hotspot driving around it causing an accident?

Has a petrol station on it, if you couldn't see the petrol station and had never been round it before it would be better, hard to miss petrol stations though.

Haha that's what iPhones do for ya!
Tbh I ain't blaming nothing for crashing, it was totally my fault, and I've learned by my mistakes unlike many others.
I know people who's 18 and crashed 3 times in 1 year.

So your saying everytime you see a petrol station you think; allot of trucks use that to fill up and spill diesel all over the road and it's raining so best slow down.
Props to you if you can think like that. It was the copper who said it was a hotspot for crashes due to spilt diesel, I never knew before hand.

I don't really think that, I should though and if I crashed because of it, it would be my fault.
