Why can't my sister drive without hitting something?

Question:
My sister is always hitting something. She got her license about a year ago, and so far has gotten in 7 accidents! The weirdest thing is, it's always been with inanimate objects, except once she accidently rear ended someone. She's hit mailboxes, dumsters, trash cans, ect. She is always paying attention to the road... Why is this? Please give me details!

Answers:

I have Third party fire and Theft insurance, am I covered to drive another car not owned by me?

I'm going to stay away from the woman driver remarks, and suggest that she may have a problem with Spacial Awareness. Maybe her brain just can't quite get how big the car is and so hits things.

My friend got pulled over by the Police this past wknd.....?

Maybe she has really bad depth perception. Does she wear glasses or contacts? If so, maybe its time for her to get a new set.

How long does it take for car insurance to start? Do all policies start as soon as you sign up?

She's looking too far ahead and misses what everyone else believes is the obvious? I have a friend who can't back out of her own driveway without nailing a car, and she's had her license for at least 10 years.

lease a car with a cosigner?

She needs to pay attention. If she wears glasses, she needs to wear them while driving. She made need to get her eyes examined. Is she talking on the cell phone, playing with the radio or cd player? Her ability to judge distance may be the problem.
Sometimes people don't take driving seriously. Did she take drivers ed. before getting her drivers license? If not then she needs to. Also maybe the vechile she's driving is to big for her to handle. Maybe she needs to get something smaller.
My wife has the same problem. She can't judge distance very well. She is just more cautious to compensate for it. She's also 75 years old. I have to get on her about wearing glasses.
When you get in a car you need to adjust the seat, adjust the mirrors, adjust the steering wheel and etc:
It sounds more like she just is not paying attention. You can't be doing 5 different things while you drive.
