She's not texting while shes driving I hope, sounds like she's a little distracted while driving. Good luck man I hope the sky starts to clear for you.

Glad no one was injured or hurt......My daughter must be her twin...She also has had the accident "streak" 2 her fault and 1 not, and throw in a couple of tickets...
Insuranace made us remove her from our policy, we had to sign some docs, and she is no longer able to drive any of my vechiles, for she will not be covered. (she's in college @ CSLB) She now pays (her not me) $3,100 a year for the privlage of the road..... Stupid phones, text and talk, even though she wont admit it..even when we see her text'n.... So I feel your pain Brother...

How about this: don't let her drive for a few more years?

Most parents go through this kind of thing. Tough love is probably tougher on the parents than on the kids. Many of us have learned the hard way that by being overly generous and excessively forgiving to our kids, we can be spoiling them rotten and sending the message that there are no consequences for bad behavior.
When my kids were forced to pay for their own cars and insurance, they suddenly started driving more responsibly. Neither has had an accident since. Coincidence? Probably not. Bob |

bummer of a weekend. You are well overdue for a monster YT or WSB. Hope all works out for the best.

At the end of the day all that matters is that she's OK. I know that's a bit of a cliche but seriously, I'm glad she was never hurt. Plan of action for tomorrow is to head over to AAA and have my name removed from the car registration and have our daughter get her own insurance. I can only assume she was texting during both at fault accidents, doesn't matter at this point because what's done is done. If she was hopefully this is lesson learned for ALL OF US.
Plan of action for today? Get this Bad Boy going!!!! Islander trip is only 26 days!!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I feel it...
Daughter borrowed my truck to help move a friend a couple weeks ago ('coz having a truck means you're obliged to lend/share, right?) Got her friend moved, then rear-ended someone on the way to return it. My tongue still hurts from the biting it took that day...
Don't think you missed much today, pretty snotty and bumpy this morning, only managed some barracuda. Heard someone got a thresher. I headed in after feeling seasick and cold. |

I'AM A GRANDPARENT TOO.
I DO BIG WRECKS FOR SEMI/DUMP/BOX TRUCKS//// PLEASE TALK TO ALL KIDS ABOUT USING PHONES, TEXTING WHILE DRIVING. MY WORST JOB WAS AN ACCIDENT OF A GIRL THAT WAS COMING HOME FROM COLLEGE AND LOST CONTROL OF HER CAR WAS KILLED. THE CELL PHONE HAD 6 MISS CALLS FROM HER MOM. THE CHP OFFICER TOLD ME TO TURN IT OFF. THE FAMLY WILL BE NOTIFIED. THAT HAS BEEN MY SADDEST TOW I EVER DID |

My wife when she was younger was the same way....sorry to hear this news but atleast she is safe.
My wife had 4 accidents in the span of 30 days, 1 car totaled, and jacked up 3 other cars pretty good. Fast forward 7 years and she is now a decent driver. No cell phones within hands reach is the rule, and when I ride with her, I monitor how she drives! I'm usually yelling LOL... Anyways on a good note, I just ordered my OUTBACK!! she still doesnt know. |

I wont' even let my 17 yr old son drive - first show me responsibility and following simple rules - then we can talk about driving. Eventually he's going to hit 18 then find out what its all about - ins. is expensive!! |

wow!!
I think this is the reason my parents had nothing to do with buying me a car!! Way too much money if I crashed it, and was on their insurance.

I can fit two on the rack and two in the bed so the more the cheaper for all of us.

My daughter just turned 13 and I have been dreding this for some time! Maybe I can borrow that trike you have on the top shelf in your garage and let her drive that thing around awhile, insurance would be cheap!
