Poor kid!! Glad you weren't seriously hurt tho. Be careful out there!

I didn't have my license when in school. Dad was very old fashioned and believed that women didn't need to know how to drive, so wouldn't sign for me. My mother never learned to drive in all of her 79 years. How times have changed - thankfully. Finally got mine when I was 18. I've NEVER had an accident (one that I caused), and only have been involved in a couple of fender benders caused by the other driver. Guess I'm one of the rare and lucky ones.

A little story: My girlfriend had her license in school, and we had been out somewhere one night, don't remember where, but......
She was backing out of her parking space, and backed into another car. A police car of all things, with the cop in it! Luckily no damage to either vehicle, and he let her go on her way.
