Mom of new driver needs sympathy

["Got Disney"]

You allowed you child to get behind the wheel of a car you knew he didn't have the skills to drive in the winter. You made your insurance decisions on the assumption that he would have an accident?

You are incredibly lucky that your precious child is alive right now.

This above was a little to harsh....and some posters on the DIS are just well....I'll leave it at that.

Having a teen driver is always hard....and comes with a lot of worries. It takes many years to get driving skills and teens brains are jello to begin with so we worry twice as much. But learn they do and even with experience of 30 years accidents happen.

He will learn from this and be extra careful when he gets back into the driving seat....luckily he got away with a lesson learned and no injuries incurred.

It was a blessed day at that....and here's to many safe years of his continued driving!

I always thought you were supposed to buy insurance with a worse case scenario in mind so that you're covered and don't lose your house, etc. It's what we've done with our children and ourselves. I'd rather have too much coverage than not enough.

She didn't say that he didn't have the skills. It was his dad who made the comment and it sounds like he's a Danny Downer.

How do you ever develop a skill if you are never given an opportunity to try?
