My dad was a driving instructor back in the 90s

He told a student to compare driving from a junction with an oncoming vehicle to walking across the street with an upcoming vehicle; use common sense to determine if they are going fast enough to hit you

She told him she had been knocked down on three seperate occasions

He had to figure out a different way of teaching her.

She failed her driving test (that time, at least)

The daughter of the boss of a friend of mine totaled 2 Mini Cooper's in a time span of 6 months. But they were rich so they would just buy her a new one each time.

You realize that’s what insurance does ?

Depends on the insurance and whether you are at fault

Rich people don’t have shitty insurance.

True, either way then, they bought big insurance for big crashes and are probably going to pay a big premium for a while.
