Michael McCann is determined to get back behind the wheel, despite his severe injuries.
He was injured when the Ford Mondeo he was travelling in hit a tree in Pinehurst Road, killing Matthew Styles.
Another passenger escaped with minor injuries.
The driver, Gary Huckin, of Walcot, has made his first appearance in court in connection with the crash.
Mr McCann said despite his terrifying ordeal he would be happy to drive again.
But he said: "We've all got somebody who loves us somewhere.
"People should remember that before doing anything dangerous on the road."
