Lets see now, bought my first car for 6 grand, enjoyed the use of it.
One day, some weeks after finishing the hsc, I'm looking for a new job. Driving up the pac highway in heavy traffic, feeling somewhat tired, I see a police paddy wagon driving in the opposite direction. Looking ahead, I realise the car in front of me has come to a halt. I'm still driving at 60, slam the brakes as hard as I could. Skidded 2 metres before rear ending the guy in front of me.
Well, lets say the car was written off. Excess? 1 grand. 3 demerit points and a $350 fine from the cops.
Do not drive when you are tired.
