Did you check if it's fixable? Maybe instead of using the insurance money to pay back the loan it might be worth fixing the van.

Three accidents in as many years is excessive regardless of purported fault because there is such a thing as defensive driving. I was taught to drive defensively and assume that any other driver is likely to do something stupid at any point. Yes there are accidents but I have managed to go 20 years without an accident in a major metropolitan city as well as driving insane LA freeways for long commutes.
I took driver's ed but my father really was the one who taught me how to drive and I still can hear his voice in my ear admonishing caution.
I would think having your husband enroll in some kind of program that teaches safe driving and defensive driving should be done.

I totalled my minivan, as per the insurance company. They also said it's a total loss. They sent us a check and we took it to a body shop and they fixed it for us. And we had extra money left over.

I’m sorry for your car loss. I very much understand how it is to be with one car as I’ve been in that situation before for many years and relied on public transportation or rides.
In the meantime, maybe take Uber to where you need to go.

It’s just so hard that my husband is not a safe or reliable driver. How can I let him drive my kids around?
My daughter missed therapy today bc of lack of transportation. It just feels so unfair. 😢 |
This is the most worrying thing, even more concerning than the van, the money, and the inconvenience. Some day, DH or one of your kids may get hurt, CVS!
Does your DH seem to have ADD? If so, can you get him on meds? If he's spacy and easily distracted, he is not safe on the road! I would also insist on driver's classes before he gets behind the wheel again. Does he even admit that these accidents seem unusually frequent, or does he always blame someone else?
I can't even imagine how many points are on his license, and how high his driver's insurance is right now.
