6 months ago, my son got his learners.

last weekend was my last weekend to drive with him, as an L PLATE driver. in that last drive, i explained to him, (as we drove all through the adelaide hills, in the marshmello soft, EA falcon which has been in our family since new), that driving in the real world is NOT like his XBOX or playstation. there is no RESET button for when things go wrong.

i explained that when he gets his P Plates, that his friends will push him to drive fast, or do stupid stunts. i also explained that when things go wrong...they will not be the ones paying for speeding fines or damage. he got his P PLates on monday.

yesterday evening, i got a call from him (he doesnt live with me) to explain that he let one of his friends drive the car....and they ploughed into a pole and smashed the headlight and the bumperbar was hanging off....

does anyone else have a story like this to tell? did i do something wrong?
