[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 147795"] Thanks everyone. The kids are fine today. easy child's eyes turned out fine, but his nose is swollen. The one that hit his head is no longer complaining of a headache. I've told him repeatedly that it doesn't matter how careful of a driver YOU are, you always have to watch out for the other drivers. But, you know how kids are. Experience is a good teacher. It's a hard way to learn a lesson, though. Even though he was doing the speed limit, he was driving too fast for the conditions (raining and wet roads) and he doesn't know the road. He's never driven it before. And he didn't know the car. It was the first day he had driven it. It's heavier than my car and has a bigger engine. And I *know* they were driving that road because of the hills...you get that tummy turn-over on that road. They were only supposed to pick a friend up from work. It should have been a 10 minute round trip. They were miles from home. So, I'm annoyed at that and I know he knows it although I haven't really said anything. I figured that the accident itself was lesson enough. We talked about again watching out for other drivers, taking it easy on unfamiliar roads, etc. Besides, he got enough **** from his dad. I'll have to post his dad's reaction (he's such a flaming jerk), but I'm too tired tonight. It'll end up turning into a vent and a rant, too. [/QUOTE]
