he ran someone over, put the guy in the recovrey position and fled the scene.
he went to jail for it, and the girl who owned the car was banned and given a hefty fine.
not worth the risk if you ask me!

Its your responsibility to Insure your car against third parties on the road. If you lend your car to someone, you should 1. See their certificate of car insurance to see if they are insured to 'Drive other cars' (usually third party only). 2. Add them as a temporary driver on your policy 3. http:// www.avi va.co.u k/short -term-c ar-insu rance/ In the eyes of the law, the registered owner of the vehicle is ultimately responsible otherwise.
