Driver's Ed

C talked her dad into registering and paying for an online driver's ed class.  She will take the class and then test at the DMV for her permit.  Yeah, she IS 15 years and 3 months.

Wow!


Timing is everything.  M is sweating the increase in our insurance.  We barely can keep up with him driving.  We just received notice that our insurance is going up $600.00/year because of the $15,000 settlement in addition to car repairs, etc. our insurance paid to the driver he rear ended in the spring.  Maybe we should see if he can take a class?!

(It's a good thing he can't be bothered to read my blog!)

I'm a tad annoyed about the increase for a number of reasons.  He never followed through against the driver who hit him last fall in the awful accident that totalled his truck, severely bruised his ribs, and broke his glasses.  (The woman that hit him ran a red light and about took off the front of his truck.)  He got his totalled truck replaced, but he never pursued medical or pain and suffering.  He still has discomfort.

If he had, we might have come out even.  But, what do I know?!

His answer?  "Well, the guy I hit got a lawyer and the lawyer will take about half of the settlement."

What is half of $15,000?
