I was involved in an accident last year. The cop that was there issued me a failure to yield, which in Missouri for me meant 1 year in jail or 1 grand in damages, or both. My mom has Pre Paid Legal, which has become useful to us on two different occasions. We got a lawyer and got it reduced to just paying court costs and no points against my license and no ticket. The kicker was that I had to have 1 year unsupervised probation. Not so bad. I've been off it since September.
As far as the car, you could make it a weekend only car for your son, or you could sell it outright. I'm not going to say that at age 16 that your kid shouldn't have a modified muscle car, but they need to be responsible. Your son didn't show it that night that he raced after you talked to him about it.
Daniel.
