Attention all new drivers... and soon to be new drivers.

General
If you are or know a new driver, tell them to drive like a responsible person. I hate to see kids that just got their liscense and drive like they know what they are doing. I am not trying to point fingers, I just want all drivers (new or old) to drive responsivlely.
No Joke.
Today was my friends birthday, I felt bad for not giving a gift, so I offered her and her boyfriend a ride to the mall. As we are exiting at a yielding corner, I noticed a van in front of me driving in reverse. I couldn't back up since there was a car behind me... I had no choice but to honk and brace for impact... BAM! The couple in my back seat were scared and I was f*ckin' pissed. I got out to see my front bumper was bending. The van moved forward and the bumper retained back to shape. The kid got out of his van and was scared sh*tless. I try to keep my cool and he was trying to keep his cool.
My front license plate is smashed and my front bumper looks like in good shape. A little warped but not noticeable and some hard to see paint damage.
Not bad damage for a kid who had their license for two weeks.
His reason, he didn't see me... (Is it really that hard to see me blue car with it's daylights on?)
He was busy trying to talk to his girlfriend at the side of the road....
Anyways, this was my second time being in a fender bender (none of them were my fault) First time was a kid behind me stopping too close, luckily no damage...
I just want to point out, please drive safe... I don't want to pay damages and insurance for something I didn't do...
As for the kid that hit my front bumper, I let him go and I just told him give me cash so I can get a new license plate, holder, and frame...
All this happened on my Lancer....

Damm its like a curse of the Lancer.
any metalwork damage? or just the plastic Bumper?
lol at keepin ur cool, i'd just be like comming out of the car with fake blood and screaming: "AHHH LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME, I HAVE CHILDREN x.x"
but its plastic, it pops back out!, just gotta find touch up paint. ...Lots of touch up paint.... maybe a can...... 1 gal.....
This is what happens when you let fifteen-year-olds drive, with potentially no lessons.
Thank god my geo is considered a USDM :P
