I worry most about how inattentive my son is. He tends not to pay enough attention to the road. He also doesn't keep a close eye on the speedometer, so he gets lots of speeding tickets. But he's always been that way. He's had a few accidents, but not as many as one would think. So he hasn't been seriously hurt (or hurt anyone else), but he has smashed up a couple of cars.

He met with his voc rehab advisor on Friday. It looks like they're definitely going to buy him a car. They have a limit of $2000 for the purchase of the car which would only get a really crappy car, but they said he could add his own money in. He could probably scrape together $1500 or so. So adding those together he'd get an ok car.
