You Don't Want To See That

I live a block away from a local branch of the the Department of Motor Vehicles, and so regularly see student driver cars.

But yesterday I saw something I'd never seen before, though when you see it, you figure "of course." At an intersection, a student driver car had slammed into another car.

I felt pretty bad. (Though I also felt "isn't that cute--the first accident.") I hope this doesn't put that student off driving forever. Or would that be a good thing?
