[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 643483, member: 18366"] OK I was wrong but after 20+ years of being a safe driver I got a speeding ticket. In order not to incur points and keep my insurance premiums low, I had to take an 8 hour driving course :rolleyes: Even though I absolutely hated doing it, it did remind me that driving a [I]CAR [/I]is driving "heavy machinery". Just that alone has made me a safer driver. We get so use to a car just being something we use to get us from one point to another that we forget that we can quite easily hurt ourselves or others when doing something as simple as driving a car. Having said that, I wouldn't put your daughter back behind the wheel just because of this latest accident. (and thank heaven no one was hurt) Driving safely is a responsibility we owe not only to ourselves but others on the road as well. I would go further to have her show you responsibility by: paying for damages (if the car is totaled, pay it off or re-pay you for the cost of the car, not let her drive any of your vehicles AND insist take a safe drivers course!
