You probably don't need to give him the flick (gawd that sounds like relationship stuff)... but maybe you don't be a passenger in anything he is driving etc.... make him be the passenger, maybe safer :

good work saving the coke (oh and burger), chips looked to greasy anyway :

Hmm, have the police shown any interest in it thus far, obviously you cant.dont want to comment thats understandable, but in my experience, they generally look at single car accident, especially with a roll over with a fine tooth comb.

Actually it makes a lot of sense, sprinkler pointed at road making road wet, hence road made slippery, car drive on slippery road lose control and roll. Easy. Now be a good boy and go away if you don't have anything constructive to say. Thankyou.

oh, so, if it was raining, and the road was wet, this obviously wouldn't happened, cos it was just because of the sprinkler, right?

Well think about it. If it hasn't rained for a while, which i assume it hadn't, the water on the road brings any oil, petrol, diesel that has been spilt on the road. That makes the road slippery and dangerous. That mixed with hitting the curb as you would since it is a roundabout and a lack of experience makes this sort of thing happen. Now before you reply please think first as you hurt my brain with your stupidity and simplicity.

BROTHER- the star of this thread: for starters i mounted the curb and on the other side of the curb was a steep hill the car slid down sideways the wheels dug in n thats how it flipped

wagon+wet = fun + no grip
fun + no grip = no controll
no controll + motion = mounted curb
mounted curb + hill = ROLLED CAR
