Only be nice is not enough

I read a story this morning:
我教一個朋友學車,休息時來到我的APARTMENT, 但朋友停車時踩到了油門,結果撞上了我租的apartment,房子損壞很大,完全不能住。 現在我不清楚這件事故的責任。現在問幾個問題。
1)現在我沒地方住,哪誰應負HOTEL費?是不是房子的經理應付這個費用?但現在經理說是我帶來的客人,客人撞壞了房子,所以他不應負這個責任,他不會幫我找HOTEL,我可以住HOTEL,但HOTLE費要我自己和保險公司交涉。
He is the second person whom I know to suffer a car accident while teaching a learning permit to drive a car.
Another one was almost the same thing, and what even worse was that the car rushed into a lique store, not only damage the car totally, but also damage the store. Of course, both the guys, "the master and the student", were hurted by the glass. Fortunately, both of them were OK at that time. However, the good relationship between "the master and student" never exist after the accident. Moreover, "the master" complained that "the student" never saying sorry to him because he was wound. Is that funny? I told "the master" that he should be reponsible for that car damage after he told me his horrible experience, and he should be luck because "the student" did not sue him to pay for the damage.
So, that is why I never let anyone whom I did not teach to drive the car in the city street. Also, I encourage the learner to go to driving school instead of being taught by someone having not certificate. Actually, many Chinese guy who learn how to drive in US like to be a teacher, that is not good unless you graduated from China driving school or you really a good driver in the US for many years.
Be careful! If you want to keep a good relationship with someone, only be nice is not enough.
