Family to lose home for not having car insured

A sheffield family are to lose their house due to not insuring their sons car correctly and he was involved in a serious crash .is this harsh or a sort of justice ?personlly I think it serves them right

Why not link the story so people can get a better idea?

To lose their home! no, that's too harsh IMO.

To be heavily fined but given the oppertunity to pay in a reasonable time frame, yes.

Don't know how do links but it's been in star

you cannot be serious the onus lies with the son and not his parents

How old was the son?

You allow someone to drive your car and your are involved in the offence of allowing them to drive whilst uninsured. Also probably still paying for the car.

Here's the story:

In one case in Sheffield a family lost their house because a man was driving around in a car for which his mum was down as the main driver.

 

He was involved in an accident in which someone was severely injured and the family ended up paying out ‘hundreds of thousands of pounds’ in compensation, which cost them their house.

Don't think it says in report

not seen the story before I posted so don't know the ins and outs of it so if the car belonged to him and he had a crash the onus is on him

In report police said there was stuff in car which pointed to car being his not his parents

and if he had insured it properly his family wouldn't have lost their home
