A few years ago, a TW immigrant family drove into a four-wheel drive in Australia.
Today, the judge ordered the family's son to pay A $ six hundred and sixty thousand to RACQ, an insurance company, after the family's unlicensed driver caused the accident at the time of the accident.

According to the Brisbane Times, the family came to Australia from TW in 2008.
In September 2013, their Toyota Tarago crashed into an incoming four-wheel drive in North Stradbroke Island, Queensland.
The accident left 17-year-old Lien-Yang Lee, paralyzed and could not be cured. His two brothers and parents were also injured. At that time, the family made a claim to RACQ and received an award.
According to the court document, the insurance company then claimed that it had been tricked by a fraudulent statement that the father was driving at the time of the incident.
The company thought the driver was actually a son, and the judge agreed.
As a result, the boy and his parents were ordered to pay A $ four hundred and thirty nine thousand eight hundred and forty, in addition to an additional A $ two hundred and thirty four thousand four hundred and twenty seven.
The family appealed, arguing that, combined with the scene evidence, the judge had made a mistake in several ways. However, the appeal was dismissed last week.
Judge Philip McMurdo said that according to DNA and photographs at the scene, there was blood on the driver's side of the airbag with the boy's blood on it. Plaintiff face, tooth injury, this may be the source of blood on the airbag.
At the same time, McMurdo rejected the assumption that when the boy's father moved his son out of the car, his hand accidentally stained his son's blood on the airbag.
In the end, McMurdo decided to dismiss the family's appeal and ordered it to pay the fees.
