Good on the truck owner. I hope insurance doesn't screw him over.

They probably will.... but there's civil court where the boy's family I'm sure would be responsible....

WTF is wrong with people? 14 years old and stealing cars.... :-/ Crazy.

That was cool but hopefully the guy in the truck didn't get hurt.

Kid is really stupid though. Came awfully close to the kid on the bike. Not to mention I wouldn't trust a 14 year old's car control to keep him from hitting the kid on the bike when he's driving on bumpy grass at speed.

Nothing new. I've been unofficially driving since I was 13. I just didn't pretend it was GTA haha.

The real question is ... a Veloster owned by grandparents?

This is, of course, on Facebook. The truck driver actually posted on there in response and a guy stepped up saying he owned a body shop and would donate all the labour to fixing the truck.

[icky2unk]

Is he legally allowed to do that or is the truck danger up to get fined?

I think something somewhat similar happened in town, IIRC the insurance company covered it and the police looked the other way.

Edit: It was Edmonton and the Hummer driver was never charged. The driver of the car he drove into was charged with dangerous driving. Police actually recommended him for an award.

Old folks love cheap, practical cars.

Most cheap car aimed at youngster ended up in old people's drive ways. Honda Element, Scions and the old favorite, Corolla and Civics.

My aunt was a grandparent at 46. And that's almost 30 years ago.

It would be a PR nightmare if the insurance company and/or cops held the guy liable. He intentionally ended the situation to save lives... if he got in any kind of trouble for that, you better believe the parents of those children in the park and national media would be all over it. Better for agencies to be preemptive so they don't look bad. I'm sure the guy is getting a new truck at no expense of his own.

But you know what, even though it would totally suck to write off my vehicle (if my insurance didn't cover me) I would do it in a second if I felt I had to do so to save live(s). Stuff is just stuff.

If you had a kid at 14, and they did the same, you could be grandpa at 30! :nut:

Ditto. As much as I love my truck, at the end of the day it was bought with money, and money can buy another one, no amount of money would bring back one of those kids. I would do the same in a heartbeat. It would suck to be without a ride for awhile, but I can always get another truck.
