Been Busy Part 3: The Not So Good Part

One the last day of school the weather was freaky. There would be sunshine one minute and pouring rain the next. Unfortunately the pouring rain came when Trevor was driving home from school. The rain was so hard that there was almost no visibility and the road between the school and our home doesn't have a shoulder to pull over onto. He slowed down but not enough to be able to stop in time to avoid hitting a car that was stopped to take a left turn.

It was the type of accident that could have happened even with a more experienced driver but knowing that isn't going to make me feel better if (more likely when) my insurance payments go up. A teenage driver, especially a son, is expensive enough as it it. Almost as bad is having a teenager without a mode of transportation. (There's nothing within a reasonable walking distance from where we live.) He really wants the repairs on the car to be finished, but I think the rest of the family wants it even more.
