At least she stayed there. With no insurance I'm sure her father contemplated telling her to screw. Never enter into an agreement to have "my buddy" fix the damage.
Was she cute? |

The Guy tried to cut corners on his insurance with his OWN CHILD! You owed him nothing. You payed his dues for him. He loses.
WHen my kids were new drivers my insurance tab was 450 a month 10 years ago. For basic. I fixed their cars myself anf the insurance paid to fix who they "met". It only happened once. I repaired and the boy helped. The boy really didn't like working with good 'ol Dad. "I said 13 mm, AJ, it's stamped right on the friggin' wrench!"  |

Yeah Great Work Dad. What the hell kind of values is raising her with? You screw up and cover it up? It's also good to know that the guy stepped up and told you about the girl. There are some decent folk left!

A bit ago down in Knoxville, TN I was pulling out of my spot at the Hilton hotel parking garage downtown when I'm hit by a 19 year old girl driving an unregistered car with no insurance and no drivers license.
She promised she had her license number memorized though 
Thank god I was in rental and the damage wasn't that bad. I filled out the accident report with her license number and her parents phone number 
Had it been my own car I would have had the police there immediately.

sorry to hear about her
your truck... I mean 
just so - you'll know.....
sometimes the mind plays tricks on you 
what you see is actually upside down and then is
reversed back to the brain...
she may have seen your truck.... but somehow the...
"location" was not where she marked it (mentally) to be....
when driving...
----
from my view.....
i think the way we teach driver's education is completely wrong....
all student drivers should have to enter a demolition derby 
all student drivers should be able to leaver rubber and screech to a stop leaving rubber to .... pass the test...
they should have to go through a course avoiding all obstacles while backing up for miles... too
they should basically be taught defensive driving and be more aggressive in their abilities
and not all this meek and trembling
...i'm afraid to drive crap... until they truly KNOW how to drive..... |

I had worked for an executive driving service back in '90 and it was mandatory for ALL the drivers to take a defensice driver course. To this day, I have reacted or did something based on that course that has saved me from being involved with someone else's lapse in judgement.
One of my many gripes with drivers today is that they don't know their vehicles. They buy a car, truck or SUV but don't know how to drive the vehicle safely. They tend to get a vehicle that's too big for them. How many of us veteran drivers know whether or not our vehicle will fit into a parking space just by looking at it? Or we know that we have enough room to pass another vehicle or stationary object without having to stop or slow down? (I'm not talking recklessness or cockiness, but confidence in our abilities.)
Second would be that the majority of new drivers (regardless of nationality) are taking drivers ed classes that ONLY seem to prepare them for the test and not real driving experiences. (I compare it to the MCAS test issues.)
I think we've all experienced those fun drivers that don't have a clue what there doing or where they're going.
There were just a couple of my driving grumpages.
