My oldest, now 22, has had more accidents than HE cares to remember... His first car was an 88 Toyota Corolla DX18? I think... On his 6th day as a licensed driver, he drove to school, pulled out in front of a chevy pickup, and got creamed.. spun him arouund and his car then hit the back side of that guys truck. He then proceeded to drive on to school, then back home, and park it in the driveway. Never said a word.
At the time, Sue worked the evening shift as a CNA and got off at 11:00 PM. I went to move his car for his mom to park in the garage and found the damage. Sue and I went and woke him up asking him what happened to his car... His response: "Why, isnt it in the driveway?" :angry:
Holy cow were we mad... To top it all off, he didnt have his proof of insurance with him, and only exchanged information with the guy. I had to meet the man the next morning at 5:00 AM to provid him the insurance info... He did over $3500 damage to that truck... I patched the toyota back together and 3 months later he hit a road sign and it was a gonner.
My second child, daughter, is now 20, and never had an accident.
Our third, Michael, has his permit now. I got a good deal on a 2001 Escort and that will be his car.
