Wife just got rear ended

She's OK, low speed impact.

Bumper on the Yukon is slightly pushed down.

Trailer wiring junction is a bit mangled and pushed against the spare so that will have to be dealt with.

Teenage driver on her phone.

She asked my wife to not call the Police, no license.

Told wife absolutely call the cops I'm on the way.

By the time I got there the local FD had been out for a lunch run so of course they stopped to check on everyone and called it in.

Told the young lady, "sorry but you made a conscious decision to drive without a license. It shows a lack of responsibility which does not make me believe you will take care of this.

Yes, this will suck but this is your problem, not mine.

Welcome to life and dealing with the outcome of poor decision making."

I did pull the officer aside and asked him to go as easy as he could on her. Not let her off but consider giving her the fewest citations he could while still doing his job.
