It's happened again, some moron has bailed into my daughter. Totalled her car, severely broke both her arms. She's home now, had to have yet more plates added to her previous collection of plates holding her arm together. Other driver at fault (again). Other driver admitted to reaching into the back seat to smack one of her little brats, yanked the wheel to the left, side-swiped my daughter. Daughter lost control, took out a mail box, whacked a pine tree, then head on into the corner of a house foundation.
I just want to shoot someone!!!!!!

Count your blessings on that one. She's a very lucky young lady, and you and the Mrs. are some very lucky parents. Tell her that Samantha and I are thinking about her and wish her a speedy recovery.
When did this happen?

Thanks Pete and Sam. Happened last Tuesday at about noon. We, and she (Gina) are counting our blessings for sure. But, I'm feeling pretty bitter. Gina's bad luck must come to an end. Of course, I have no power over that so, I'll just be pissed.

Thanks man. Listen,, show your daughter these pictures. Tell her my daughter has had two terrible car wrecks and she's only 24. Both caused by the other driver. A defensive driving class would be a good idea. And, not to discredit my daughter, I've tried to explain that when driving a car, you need to be ready to react. You need to know how to crank your car around to avoid things. We guys typically learn how to drive defensively by driving everything we've ever driven offensively, know what I mean?

Bird and Julie Bird...What can I say that hasn't already been said. Thank God Gina is Ok (broken arms and all). That is unreal. Her luck has to change. I think it's time to buy her a Hummer (with the machine gun option!!). Tell her not to worry about the system...We'll take care of her again. Also, make sure you get the other party for what their worth!

seriously my first thought when I saw your post was to encourage her to get used to driving something 7-8K lbs with a high beltline and lots of perimeter.
screw the fuel costs.
fortunately it was just ortho/extremity injuries
unfortunate it had to happen at all, the other driver idiot was probably texting and would never tell because of the legal implications. I see the WORST driving when it's obvious from the look downs and one hand visibility that's what they are doing and see it ALL THE TIME. That schitt has gotten out-of-hand
best wishes to Gina and her caring, frustrated parents.
