Corsa idiot trying to get out of it
Discussion
My friend last night was telling me how she accepted a lift home from a 21-year old work collegue as it was dark and raining. Shes 30.
He drove a Corsa, you can imagine, souped up nonsense with big audio install. Straight away he was pumping out the bass, she asked him to turn it down but he apparently was 'its my car blah blah'. As soon as he was out of the work car park he was spinning the wheels and driving generally like an idiot. She told me she was pleading with him to stop it, but he ignored her.
If anybody knows Trafford Park in Manchester, this happened from the Tulip Hotel near Traf Cntr, up to the roundabout, right towards Asda, and the inevitable happened on the roundabout just outside Asda (its only small).
Yes, after drifting it around the large roundabout, pleb proceeds to attempt to cross a roundabout at about 45mph, in the wet, at night, after a hot day.
One lamp-post later, and my friend with serious belt burns and trauma to her shoulder (she had one arm on the dash when the car hit the post), the car is a write-off. She got a lift from her friend who took her to hospital.
The numpty didn't call the police until he realised he couldn't move the car on his own. He then didn't declare my friend as a passenger. He was not insured to drive the car. He is now pleading with her to be leniant, understandably she told him where to go, and she is sueing him privately for compensation (2.5 weeks off work). He has already paid for the lamp post, £800 from his own pocket.
Apparently he is now driving again, without insurance.
What measures can she take to get this idiot off the road, and to extract the maximum amount of cash and pain from him?

Maybe he fancied her and thought he could impress her – by scaring the sh*t out of her, yeah, that normally works 
Talk about rubbing salt in the wound - why should she be lenient when she has obviously lost out, yet he can find the money to buy another car so he can do exactly the same again.
Shop him at all costs if he really is continuing to drive without insurance. Don’t feel bad about doing it; he’s quite obviously a danger, to himself and to others. That lamp-post could so easily have been a bag of soft fragile flesh.
Get BiB to ambush him as he leaves work, right in front of his work mates; 6 points from an IN10 will hopefully contribute to getting him off the road. May also add to her case if he’s caught.
