A father whose disabled son was hit and killed as he attempted to cross a motorway in the aftermath of a crash has admitted to his manslaughter.
Matthew Rycroft had been drinking with family throughout the day before driving off in his Audi Q5, with his 12-year-old son, Callum, as a passenger. While driving, the 36-year-old crashed off an M62 slip exit road for the Hartshead Moor Services, in West Yorkshire.
Moments later, Callum and his father attempted to cross the motorway, in what prosecutors described as "reckless folly".
Why is it always an Audi lately..?
The son of former Rangers boss Ally McCoist should be the only person to settle a £244,000 claim over his dangerous driving, a judge has ruled.
Lord Menzies said Mr McCoist should not be required to pay any of the settlement sought by insurer Aviva following the incident involving his son Argyll seven years ago.The firm had claimed Mr McCoist, 60, was also liable because he failed to do enough to stop uninsured Argyll from driving an Audi A1.
See?!
And more to the point, where does responsibility for what your child does end?
It's all Audi's fault for making cars for idiots to drive. :)

DeleteWhy should he be responsible for an adult and how far do you have to go to stop your adult kids pinching your keys. State stops you disciplining your kids. State then wants to fine you for not bringing up decent kids. Kids are not able to consent to drink or smokes until they are 18. But can consent to having their bits surgically removed etc. at nine. Like all states they want it both ways and they are incompetent.
