Careless In A Parking Lot
My daughter (new driver with G2) was practicing with a manual transmission in our own driveway.
As she was nearing the street at the end of our driveway she somehow mixed up the pedals and instead of stopping, she accelerated across the road, directly into a school driveway where she collided with a parked car. Both cars were heavily damaged.
The officer charged her with careless driving and also advised her to take it to court.
We are going to x-copper for a consultation but I'm curious if this scenario can be fought and won, or should she take a plea.
Is an accident in a school driveway or parking lot covered under the HTA ? I'm very concerned for our insurance rates since we have to list her as an occasional driver.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
