Oh how scary, for him and you. Glad he's okay, cars are replaceable. My daughter had her first bumper car action the day after she started driving alone. Just nicked the car next to her as she was slowing to a stop and left her lane. I won't bore you with the drama that ensued with the other driver weeks later.... Just keep to the facts.DS17 got his license on April 10. Sat. night he had his first accident. Thankfully he's ok. He did get a mild concussion. No other cars involved. He gave it his best effort though. Car is totaled. Ahhh the joys of young drivers. Major bummer for DS18 as they were sharing the car. Now neither one has a car & I'm back to chauffeur duty. We need another car ASAP. Still waiting on the insurance company to find out how much money we're going to get but we need to start looking now.
Try to get him right back behind the wheel as soon as he's ready. New drivers loose confidence after an accident.
Congrats on having a college kid! Time to start collecting all the dorm necessities. So many great ideas out on the web regarding maximizing space.On a positive note DS18 has finally chosen what college he'll attend in the fall. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. Deposits are due May 1. Champlain College it is. Glad to have the stress of that gone. Now I can concentrate on DS17's college visits.
I need a vacation!
