Another First ....

 The Middle Son had a 'First' happen yesterday. It was a bit of a learning experience, and hopefully, one he won't forget. He had a car accident.

Everyone in both parties were fine. Minor damage to the other vehicle (siding dented) and a little more on the Son's car (broke the headlight casing, though lights work, bent in the fender and partially the hood). Both cars were still drivable, and after exchanging some info, they went their separate ways.

The police were not called. The son took a picture of the insurance card the other driver provided. The other driver did not have his license on him. The Son also took a picture of the damages, and the other's license plate. The Son came by that afternoon and we talked a little about it. He sent copies of the pics to the Wife's phone, for future backup in case something happens to his phone. I told him we would wait for the insurance to contact us, as the accident was purely his fault. At least no one was hurt, and both cars are drivable.

The Wife was looking at the pics last night, and happened to notice some funny things. The insurance card - it was expired, and also for a car, not a minivan. The license plate had expired tags on it. The driver didn't have a license (on him), and recalling that the Son said he had a Mexican/Spanish accent.... yeah. Sounds like an un-insured driver. un-licensed, un-insured, un-registered, maybe even illegal. I doubt there will be a claim filed with our insurance.

The Son had a first, and hopefully last. Glad everyone was okay and no medical was needed.
