Happy no one was hurt... I have a similar story...go back 49 years... Just got my license was rolling to a stop sign with a car in front of me. Creeping closer, not paying attention I tapped the car in front of me. It broke the tail light lens on her car. Just to show how prices have escalated the tail light lens cost $2.50. The $2.50 was nothing.I could pay out of my allowance.....The worst part was I had to deliver the money to her husband. You see...she was married to my Drivers Ed teacher. Handing over that money to him was a whole semester of Drivers Ed wrapped up in 10 minutes....Lesson learned I have had no accidents that have been my fault since that day. My mom's car was still drivable but my parents forced me to ride my bike for a month. Not trying to hijack your thread. Just a funny ( now) story. I'm sure your daughter will remember her accident for ever too! Jon
