G'day Weasley,
I'll bet if you had a prang in your car such that a month later it was back on the road and no one was seriously hurt, the thought of not driving again would not enter your head.
I can imagine your angst at seeing a student in trouble. I would be surprised if in time you don't look back on the incident as one of those things, as you regale the enthralled crowd at some future flying school celebration.
