Good morning sun is trying desperately to break the cloud canopy .
Agree Hunni instead of expensive advertising campaigns for zero road deaths the money would be better spent on kids taking a defensive driving course - my grandson was extremely lucky it was part of his schools curriculum and I know it could possibly save his life - my kids both had motorbikes but I notice they have both steered their kids away from having one.Very proud of my grandson his parents lent him the money to buy what they considered a safe car - he has worked again these holidays for a demolition company and has nearly paid the car off - they have put no pressure on him but I think he listened to his granddad who used to tell him in many subtle ways about exploiting his privileged place in life with the family business .I can still hear him saying to him it’s no good winning everything and being such a dick nobody likes you
Kiwimade my niece has had a similar experience to your son - just prior to covid they paid a good price for a lunch bar within a building leased by the public service for 15 years - the govt was their landlord so they put all their assets on the line and bought it - the public servants are still not back and are unlikely to come back to work so they have had no income but my niece is still having to pay her lease - they tried delivering to building sites etc but it’s too sporadic - so the only way they can get out of the lease is to go bankrupt which is really heartbreaking as they had worked so hard to build up the assets they used and now they have a ruined credit history .So pleased your son will be able to have another go if he chooses to further down the track with an intact credit status
