I would like to call that man all sorts of names, but this is a clean board. He thinks his car is worth 1/2 of the young man's life. Disgusting......

I think we can use the name "sociopath", even on a family forum such as this.

Absolutely, that's exactly what I thought of when I read this. It's scary and sad to know that there are so many people like this who completely lack a conscience. Originally Posted by Duck on Wheels

I can't believe people. Even though they found both parties at fault, the car clearly won. Shouldn't life be valued over a car?????
Poor parents.

I'm kind of relieved that didn't happen in the United States - I'd hate to think our courts would even consider that kind of garbage. Hopefully, the Spanish court will whack the driver with a huge penalty for wasting their time.
