I can bet if he's not arsed about driving on a provisional license he's probably not got insurance either.
So where do you think this $1,000,000 is gonna come from?
Even if it was the USA, most people aren't insured over say $250,000 in bodily injury.
so..........
where do you want this $1,000,000 to come from?

Doesnt he have entitlement to a payment from the criminal compensation board. Awarded costs have always been small from the courts but this is usually suplemented by other avenues.

It just gets worse.....
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm...name_page.html
Mr Dearing, all of 23, was on a provisional licence and in violation of its terms. He apparently stopped at the time of the crash, looked at the victim, and left! He pulled over at a pub two miles down the road and found, along with the foot in his bumper, that his front licence plate had been torn off. Yes, THAT'S when he decided to phone police.
The victim had his entire leg amputated; that is consistent in the two accounts.
If I get his address, Manc, would you please sort out Mr Dearing?

As a law student he obviously has not learned how to charge an arm & a leg yet then.
