It wouldn't if you were my son.

Wow, that really sucks....

How was the car? At least there wasn't anything worse than a sprain.

What would you do? Stop him from driving forever?

why the fsck were you arguing over something.. and why did you take your hands off the wheel and your eyes off the road.

If it was that kind of arguing then you should have got off the road and done so. even pulling to the shoulder would have helped.

sorry to hear about your accident but its truely one of the stupidest accidents I have heard off.. The other one was a guy who took both his hands off the wheel to search for something behind teh passenger seat.

first accidents can be scary. glad to hear you're ok.

the car's not all that bad, it needs a left front fender, a front bumper, and the airbags cracked the winshield, which they are supposed to do, so that needs replaced, it needs a drivers front wheel, and a few suspension parts, so probably about 2500 in damage max, but my uncle owns a collision repair, and my dad owns a mechanical repair shop, so im ok on that.....it was my fault alot, but my mom said she knew i shouldnt have been driving when i was so mad, but she didnt offer me a ride, so i drove anyways...oh well, im just glad we are ok

sorry if i sounded like i took my hands off the wheel, they were there, i was looking at the road too, but i was only half paying attention, which was really dumb of me....actually, this is probably the dumbest thing ive ever done

by the way if the airbags go off your car is considered totalled.. if you rebuild after that its considered salvaged.

similar to my friend's accident....

he was driving on a residential street and sneezed. then to clean himself up, he leaned over to the front passenger leg area to get a tissue and when he looked up, he was on a direct course towards a tree. bang!

I am glad that no one was hurt. That is always the most important thing.

Now that I said that, I must say, you are an idiot. If I was your father you would not have a licence while you lived under my roof. What if there was a kid walking there? A second is all it takes to end a life.
