Don't be so hard on the kid. You can't expect the boy to know the perils of over-speeding or racing or whatever at the age of 13.
I render his parents responsible for all this. If his mom can go and tell his father such a huge lie as 'I was sitting with him at the time'. OMG what sort of example is set in front of the teenager?
And let me tell you Born2Race, your mother will always be telling lies in front of your father whenever you have any sort of (driving or other) accident. Fathers are more experienced than mothers since they go out to earn and can see through lies. You know what, he probably knows it all by your face and doesn't want to shame your mother by telling her she's lying.
The other thing is: you shouldn't be driving at the age of 13. Don't your parents really care about you? Are you too many brothers, so a 'disposable' effect is there? I don't get how 9 yr olds are racing on the streets and their parents think they are doing something very cool to their kids.
Now I'm telling you things your nobody ever will tell you.
Don't hide anything from your father. Even if you get a good beating/chiding, he MUST know what you've been upto. Once my friend (being the angry young man) was revving behind a car and then came home, told his mother & father. The next day a policeman stopped his father and told to come to the PS b/c this no. plate car had hit the SHO's private car. Now my uncle knew what had happened, so he easily dealt that no, there was no hitting, just that the 'kids' were showing road rage by pumping the accelerator.
What happens if he's a cardiac patient? He'll instead get proud that his offspring trusts him. At least mine would, though he's also a cardiac patient.
What do you mean racing? Abul-Hasan Isphahani is a very dangerous road. From Safari chowk to Maskan, their come two S-curves. I've seen a car overturn there.
You shouldn't even be thinking of racing unless you've mastered driving, plus techniques like heel-and-toe, left-foot, double-clutching, power-shift, speed-shift, shifting w/o clutch, nor if you don't understand what things like oversteer, understeer, countersteer and lift-off oversteer mean. Assuming you a class XI student, I know that you don't have an idea of all these things.
There are people like motorcyclists on the side and I'll be saved, but those people have no protection at all if my car skids. Why should THEY die b/c of my pleasure?
I'm plotting real-time in my brain the power-torque graph (dropping normals on the axes), and also how the the shift in metacentre (it isn't the correct term but we boys use it for convenience) is occuring with respect to the centre of gravity of the car, and the subsequent stabilizing and destabilizing torques being applied along the axis of translation. (This is a bit heavy but when you go into matric physics you'll learn about stable, unstable and neutral equilibrium, use that info alongwith Newton's first law to do it all.)
Do you know how old were the ball-joints (how many km since hey got repaired), CV-joints, engine foundations, tyres and tyre pressures etc. Do you know the width of your tyres? The profile height? If they are radial or bias ply? I'm just telling you that racing and car-control is not that easy. You need to know each and every nut-bolt of your ride to properly integrate with the car.
I'm not even thinking of racing until I complete 2m km. Just because knowing-it-all doesn't dispense with the need of a God (who stabilizes the car miraculously when you start losing control).
Were you wearing a seatbelt? I don't think so. I don't think your mehran even had one. Get one fitted for Rs. 300/-. Make sure the next car you get has seat belts. Make sure you and your passengers are wearing them. Else you'd have been saved the defacing by breaking off of teeth. Think of it, if you look so dreadful as you are making it appear on the forums, whoever will want to marry you some 12 years in the future? I'm not joking, think about it, you have a long life in front of you, and a life-partner is surely an important event.
All I can advise you is to go the wikipedia and read the article on defensive driving and car-control.
And its not about driving slow. Its about driving responsibly and remaining in control. Driving slow is a sin in many places and can actually be dangerous (e.g: Sweden has a min speed of 110kph on their highways, heck, even NMHP has imposed a 65kph limit on motorways in Pakistan).
If people start driving slowly, there would be a perpetual traffic jam. The main idea:
- Drive as fast as you can CONTROL.
- Take time to grow up. Cars are designed for people 5'-7" height. Make sure your hands and feet are the size of the machinery you are using them to control!
- NEVER go driving w/o supervision.
- NEVER at all hide anything (or tell incomplete) from your father.
- ALWAYS wear seatbelt. Even if you are going to the general store 400m away. It will soon enter your instinct and you'll start automatically doing it, just like you turn the key in the ignition switch.
- Safar ki dua is of everlasting importance.
- STEERING CONTROL is most important. Nearly all collisions occur due to loss of steering control. Brakes, clutch etc. seldom fail.
- Don't blame mehran's brakes. Brakes on mehran are lousy, but it doesn''t sound like a proper excuse. Suppose khudanakhwasta you'd killed a youth and told his mother, "Khala ji bas kya bataon brakes hi itne fazool hein, lagte hi naheen, iss lye mein ne aap ke larke ko mar dya." See how stupid it seems.
Don't feel so afraid. The sadness is a natural reaction, but don't go driving until your father says to. Make him see you're ashamed of your folly and that you do not think you are capable of holding such a responsibility as a driving seat. There will be one day when he says, "Beta tum to bohot dar gay, gari chalao ge to takray gi bhi, zindagi ka hissa hai, dil pe na lo." I suggest you wait for that day.
Apologize to your father that he has to feel ashamed and has to apologize to that charade owner. This will sure make him happy, since his boy really cares about his respect.
