'PRINCE' NASEEM COUSIN JAILED

A cousin of boxer "Prince" Naseem Hamed has been jailed for four months for crashing the ex-champion's £45,000 Subaru Impreza at 80mph.

Andruoos Yafai, 18, shunted another car into a public telephone box, injuring a man who was using it. He was banned from driving for 18 months.

22b bites the dust. however, would you let your teenage cousin drive your very high performance car unaccompanied by someone with a little maturity......

I remember this from a few months ago....hadn't the guy doing the driving (or not ) just picked it up from a body shop where it had been subject to a previous repair

Perhaps the owner should be taken to task about letting an obviously inexperienced driver loose in a 22b

If he's anything like his cousin, maybe he couldn't see over the steering wheel.

I let my teenage son drive mine at Brands last November. He did bloody well, good track behaviour, awareness and was quick with it.

Made for a very proud Dad

richard,

good for him (& good for you for teaching him the necessary respect & responsibility - i don't mean that to sound in the slightest bit patronising!!)

come to think of it, jenson button in an f1 car at...er, 19.

i guess i wouldn't feel comfortable until they'd done IAM or something similar to ensure their competence and my piece of mind. s'pose it depends on how mature your kid is too..
