Not only do you have to worry about the way your child drives....you also have to worry about all the other morons on the road.
Once again I am dealing with insurance adjusters, tow trucks, body shops, accident reports....
Jen was broadsided as she was pulling out of a parking lot onto the roadway. Jen says the other car came out of nowhere, that she looked both ways before pulling out of the lot and didn't see anyone coming. The guy who hit her says he was doing 30 MPH....but the damage to her car makes me doubt it. The accident happened just south of a very busy intersection, and my guess is that he wanted to make it through the intersection before the light changed. And, oh yeah, the guy who hit her is NOT a teen driver...he's older than I am.
I keep telling both girls "Drive as if everyone else on the road is a moron, because most of them are."
And now we have to figure out how Jen is going to get to work while her car is in the shop.
My insurance wasn't high enough, I had to have this happen now?
What an awful situation! I hope the car is fixed and all is well soon.
