Scarry isn't it. I have three daughters 20, 18, 15. My 20 year old had only a small fender bender in a parking lot after about 6 months of driving. Now my 18 year old, she waited until she was 17 to drive after driving for about 6 weeks she had an accident. While driving down a residential street she attempted to put on a necklace, she dropped the necklace bent over to pick it up and then AirBag! She hit a parked car about 40+mph. Of course she had to hit a Lexus that was pushed into a lifted Ford Ranger, The Ranger ended up on top of the Lexus. She was not hurt too bad, no broken bones however the airbag hit her with great force as she was bending over looking for her necklace at that time. She looked like someone punched her. (Thank God for air bags)
My advice (hindsight) Does your daughter pay attention? Does she listen to your advice when you are not around? If there is a No you need to be concerned.
Instinct, you know I just had a bad feeling about her driving that I did not have with the other daughter. If you have that gut feeling inside you are probably right, listen to your gut.
