[quote=Anonymous]Besides the legal aspect, I would absolutely not allow her to drive your children. You say she's an experienced driver, well experienced drivers are comfortable commanding different types of vehicles and are able to drive safely in any situation. If she hit someone than 1. She was driving to fast, 2. She was not paying attention 3. She doesn't have the knowledge of how to drive defensively 4. She has low reaction time. Any driver who is experienced can drive in a city even NYC, if they drive slowly, pay attention and have quick reaction time. You nanny does not, and the fact that this isn't a her first offense should be a huge warning sign. I almost hit a child who ran into the road because his parents weren't paying attention, luckily I was. He was two and I could barely see his hair at my wheel well. If I wasn't paying attention I could have killed him. If I was driving any faster, I could have killed him. Instead, I swerved out of the way, came to a complete stop and got out of my car. I reported the incident and called an ambulance just to cover my ass incase his parents tried to claim I hit him. Everything worked out fine but if it wasn't for me being an experienced driver who stays aware of her surrounds then this could have had fatal consequences. Also, I take a voluntary defensive driving course every time i start a new position to prove I'm proactive and a safe driver. These courses don't offer any actual driving instruction and is more of a six hour lecture about paying attention, not being under the influence and not using cell phones. If you ask your nanny to take this course, make sure she also pays from private driving lessons with an instruction who will teach her how to react in different kind of emergency situations.[/quote]
