OP - You are doing a great job raising a responsible teen!!  Your daughter was 100% in the right.  That Dad is not only not obeying driving rules, but he is showing his DD by his actions that talking and texting while driving is just fine.......  The one and only rule I have when hiring a college student to do things with my daughter in our community is not to text or talk on the phone while driviing.  I never even check references, BUT this rule I stick to as our daughter can tell us what goes on.

Personally, I think you have a duty to let the girl's Mother know what happened as to why your daughter will no longer be carpooling with her daughter because hopefully if the mother will follow up with DH on his texting and driving, hearing it twice will mean something.  Given how tweens can be in terms of a group of girls freezing out another girl, I might let the comment about DD go with her, but absolutely let DD know at home that his behavior was completely defensive and inappropriate.  Your daughter will also realize that you are putting her safety first by making other arrangements that do not put her in danger.[/quote]
