After all, they did let him off the hook before. <BR/><BR/>And this is the third time in a short period of time, right? Accidents happen, but that high a frequency is worrisome. <BR/><BR/>If he doesn't stop driving like that, he or someone else is going to get seriously injured. Better the firmness now than regrets later.Revanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293868300535734672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911917248033923490.post-27082515256260293952009-03-22T12:10:00.000-05:002009-03-22T12:10:00.000-05:00I'm glad he's ok!My parents were the same way… whe...I'm glad he's ok!<BR/><BR/>My parents were the same way… when my sister and I got our licenses, they gave us their old cars and paid for insurance and repairs. When my brother got his, he was on his own. Seems a little unfair to me, but only because he's never gotten into an accident and he's a very safe driver. If any of us were irresponsible though, it would be totally justified that we had to pay for our mistakes.savingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241607615664885087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911917248033923490.post-35587103415951377322009-03-22T07:41:00.000-05:002009-03-22T07:41:00.000-05:00Well but you don't.I think your parents are 100% r...Well but you don't.<BR/><BR/>I think your parents are 100% right, you are probably more responsible and cautious and what happened was PROBABLY not your fault and could not have been avoided (I don't remember the story, or if you even told us what happened).<BR/><BR/>Whereas your brother within a short period of time, managed to ding the car twice. That may happen ONCE in a lifetime that you ding a car, but he was clearly going too fast etc...<BR/><BR/>*shrug* Just desserts, I say.FB @ FabulouslyBroke.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12966672580040786485noreply@blogger.com
