[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 428833, member: 1514"] Well I am glad that you guys had the good sense to have difficult child get a junker for his first car...Way To Go momma! I see so many people giving their kids new cars for the first car and they just go out and wreck them in the first 6 months and wonder why. Duh! First of all, kid didnt help pay for it and then the kid is a new driver. I know how scared your son is right now after the accident. I had my first accident about 6 months after I got my license. It wasnt my fault at all. Someone slammed on their brakes and locked up and slid into my lane and hit me head on. I couldnt do a thing about it. There was a six foot ditch on my right hand side so I couldnt swerve that way. I was so scared to get in the car again after that. So scared. My parents gave me about a week to get to feeling better from my injuries and then tossed me the keys to my mom's car and told me to go to the store to pick up some groceries. Just very nonchalantly. We did the same thing when my oldest had his accident a couple of years ago. It was a fender bender but it was just a couple of months after he started to drive. We just never gave him the option of not driving. [/QUOTE]
