    I don't want a criminal record though, and I'm sure my parents don't want that for me.

    If your sister wants to claim off her Insurance for her own damage (If it's covered) the Insurers will insist she reports it to the police.

    Whether the police pursue it is another matter, I suspect they will as it's a nice and easy case for them to solve so is good for their figures. Plus they're not keen on stealing vehicles and / or driving without Insurance.

    If you don't want a criminal record, you shouldn't do such stupid, irresponsible things. You were very lucky that you didn't kill anyone. I still think you should hand yourself in.

    Why were none of your friends sensible enough to stop you taking such foolish actions? Maybe you need to surround yourself with some decent people.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    TWOC, no insurance, fail to report, careless driving.

    What if the police come knocking the door for your sister before she returns?

    Had you been drinking?

    I had only had 2 drinks(maybe 3, pretty sure it was only 2) I am normally a v.careful driver. Even my parent and family friends always said what a good driver I was. The sole reason I crashed was because there was an annoying passenger (friend of a friend) in the front seat who kept fiddling with thr volume on the cd player. Plus the corner was longer/more bendy than I thought. The drink issue was the main reason I fled the scene. I have no idea what the number I called was; someone I was with just said call this number and report it. I didn't think twice at the time.

    If you are going to do stupid things and this is more than just a simple mistake you ought to be man and face up to your mistakes. If you dont learn from this you going to have a very difficult life ahead of you.
  • OP if you think your relationship with your family has been bad before you stole and wrote off your sisters car you should prepare yourself for it now getting a whole lot worse. Can you explain why you thought it was okay to steal the car and drive it without insurance? Are you immature for your age?

    This was not a mistake, simple or otherwise! It was criminal.

    I know I was expressing what the Op suggested about it being a mistake in an earlier post on this thread

    But surely that'll land me in heaps of trouble?

    Good. You deserve it. You'll get a lower sentence than if she phones the police...
