[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting -- I wonder if the PPs have teens and live in the DC area.  OP, we also live where a car is needed (although in MD), and I would not buy another car although I definitely would drive my kid to/from work or allow them to use Uber for this.  Traffic is crazy in the DMV and biking 9 miles each way may not be particularly safe.  Also, just being realistic, if you are a MC/UMC family this is likely not going to happen...your DC probably would quit rather than bike to/from work.  Just wanted to let you know that I understand that you are not making excuses. Sorry about the accident, glad your kid wasn't hurt, and focus on having a good last summer with your kid before they go to college![/quote]

I have teens and live in Arlington. About a quarter mile from our home, a woman and her dog were killed a few years ago by a young man who was texting while driving. OP is definitely making excuses, and you are, too.[/quote]

Yep.

My kid would be quitting both jobs and figuring out another source of income for the summer. She would also be expected to figure out and present a plan that showed us that she understood the magnitude of the situation and how she was going to earn back our trust.

This was not a mistake. This was wanton and flagrant disobedience to a public safety law. She's close enough to an adult to feel the pain any other adult would feel. [/quote]
