A hypothetical?!
Question: Ok, a young adult .... of legal age..
He has had several cars, but now has a nice NEW car, all the extras, bells and whistles.
he enjoys drivng it, goes (almost) everywhere with it.... is loving life, things could not be better.
Time goes on, a few years.... still has this nice vehicle, some of the "new" has worn off, but he still takes care of the car, and is still pretty much loving life.... things are still going well, but little does he know, fate lurks around the corner.
One day, he has a fender bender, no one is harmed, the car shows no sign of being hurt.
Later, he has a near fatal accident at the same spot in the road.... charges are leveled, he goes before a judge and sentence is handed down.
What should the verdict be? (forget about insurance, this is strictly hypothetical).
There is pretty much equal fault on both drivers with maybe just a bit more fault on the side of our man with the nice new car.

well if the fault lies with both drivers but just a little more with the one guy he should have to face the consequences. but unless he is totally reckless he shouldn't have his car taken away. he should have to pay a fine and pay the other driver. people make mistakes and unless they don't learn from them then they should be allowed to go on with their life.
What's the point.........???
well, never heard of going before a judge for an accident, so was he being charged with drinking? revoke the licence for a couple of months. fix the road.
