Per his description of the accident, he would be responsible for his own 
damage, despite lousy drivers that cut in and out of traffic.  (he _could_ 
have been cited for "following too closely for conditions" or something like 
that, if the cop wanted to give him a hard time) He would only have to buy 
his car back if he carried collision coverage on the vehicle.  If not, the 
insurance company could care less, and he can fix it as he has time and $$.

If he does carry collision, what he should do is see what the ins. co. would 
offer him as the value of the vehicle (pre-accident) and if the cost of the 
parts to repair it would be less, (which I imagine it would)  It might be 
more worth the time to reach a settlement of sorts for an amount slightly 
less than what they would offer, and you wouldn't have to buy it back.  That 
way you wouldn't have to get an "R" title.

Hope this helps a bit..
