Punishment for wrecked car

[BrutusOne]

What do you thing is the right punishment for a sub wife who crashed the car into a street barrier?

Repair cost is about 4000 $

I feel the most suitable punishment is one that's already agreed within the agreed limits of your relationship.

Depends on the circumstances of the accident. A lapse in concentration? busy on the cellphone? unable to handle the vehicle correctly? too big a vehicle? a barrier that jumps out in front of unwary drivers?  If the cellphone is a cause I know that the punishment should be dire and long and result in no cellphone ever! but you have to realise that she may be feeling bad about it already and a harsh punishment may not be appropriate. Paying off the damages should be part of the punishment, and an advanced driving course should be part of it too.  However, the forgiveness part is equally important.
