[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 518024"] So long as we are on the subject-my difficult child is OFF our insurance and may not drive our cars. PERIOD. He's a legal adult who smokes pot; which remains in the system for at least 30 days. Even if he is not "high" while driving, should he cause an accident, he WILL test + for THC. A local girl is now serving a jail sentence for manslaughter because she was driving & caused the accident that killed her best friend (who was not wearing a seatbelt) the 1st week of their senior year in HS. Though even the prosecution did not believe she was high the day of the accident, trace amounts of THC were in her system - hence the charges. She was lucky to negotiate a jail sentence w daytime school release instead of city prison. Should she violate the absolute sobriety-she goes to prison for 5 years. In the meantime, she & both sets of parents (divorced) & her dads business are being sued up the yin yang. Long story longer-my difficult child WILL NOT drive my car. I know he occasionally drives friends cars & often drives his girlfriend's car. In my state, insurance follows the driver. I don't want my insurance "dinged" or even a suggestion of our liability should he crash a borrowed car. My conscience is clear-his girlfriend's family knows he uses, I told them. We severed his car privileges. I will not take the risk that his drug use could sink us financially.And I will not take the risk that he could hurt someone! Lock up the car keys, buy a club for the steering wheel. [/QUOTE]
