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.

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!!!!

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.

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
