That's a good point. Plus, when I was in driving school...years ago, the driving-school cars had a brake pedal on the passenger side that the instructor could press if needed--are they still like that, I wonder? |

I am a bit confused - was it her fault she was rear - ended or was it not and someone just hit her like could have anyone?

I just advised someone that doing X would result in discomfort. I said "very very uncomfortable" - they went ahead and somehow are now cross with me because when they did it - they suffered minor but uncomfortable and long lasting effects - they didn't think I put the peril clearly enough. Good lord - if two very's don't alert you to level of seriousness I am trying to convey - there is simply no way forward.

I was always taught that you are responsible for the front of your car so if you hit someone it is your fault even if the person in front of you slammed on the brakes. Are you in the US? I would think it would be the other drivers fault.

In CA, if you get rear-ended, it's the back cars fault. Even if the front car slammed on their brakes, it's the back car's fault because they should have left enough room for emergency stops.
My mom loves to slam on her breaks and has gotten in a ton of accidents. It's never been deemed her fault. __________________ "Odium became your opium..." ~Epica |

So the deal is that she already has her license but is just a crappy driver, hence the need for lessons. She's on my insurance and stuff so it's all on the up-and-up.

Fortunately, though, the insurance company deemed that it was not her fault. |

It is the back driver's job to be back far enough to accommodate the driver ahead.
That is not to say a front driver can't do something deliberately provocative to get past the general rule. Deliberateness was not in the initial discussion __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Take the advice about getting rear ended it being the back cars fault even if you slam on the brakes with a grain of salt. This happened to me years ago when ex was driving my car and he slammed on the brakes because a car full of people were harassing us in a parking lot. Neither insurance would cover the damage to my car when I told the truth about what happened.

Tonight I have to drive and figure out where the donation center is. I've always done the pop up ones before.

My week of working live chat is done for the month. And no 6th day again this week. Yeah! We got off easy this year as far as OT goes, not having to work our 6th day 2 weeks in a row. I hope we don't have to work next week's 6th day too, but I won't know til late next week. The extra daily time isn't too bad when I get a normal weekend. I think I'm going to work on that afghan some more again this evening. Tomorrow morning I get my shoulder xray, then see L at 1pm.
I'm going to sleep good tonight I think, knowing that Penny is safe & sound and that I will be nice and warm with our new bedroom window in place (I didn't pay attention last night cuz I was worried about Miss P). I looked at it yesterday morning with the blinds taken down and I couldn't believe how broken it was - I think the only reason it didn't collapse in on itself is that it had the fake separate-panes look, you know with the wood cross-pieces attached to the glass? i don't know what that's called. The old window (likely 30+ years old) seemed so thin. |

Muntins for the wood crosspieces. My mother is slightly obsessed with muntins. She has put fake cardboard ones on windows that don’t have the wood ones.
I am finally making the chocolate cookies with salted caramel chips I’ve been planning for a week and they are omigod good. |
