No sympathy. Never had a car, grew up without one. Every time he complains, remind him that his irresponsible behaviour caused this, and that there would be much more cramping of his social life if he was in a wheelchair, or in jail.

Heck, when my cousin got a speeding ticket at 17 he lost the rights to the family car in perpetuity.
