Today, my father took me out for some driving lessons. I accidentally reversed while still in the driveway, and I instinctively hit the brakes. In my panic, I accidentally let go of the brakes, and ended up reversing straight into our house, all while my father yelled "NOOOOOO!" FML

Yikes. You might want to practice somewhere where you can't break anything. Empty parking lots are nice.

My first time driving I almost reversed into my mother getting out of the driveway.

I was in Drivers Ed and my friend was parallel parking and hit the reverse alittle too hard and smashed the back of our car into a telephone pole. He destroyed the car.

I can't imagine someone panicking so hard that they let go of the brakes. That doesn't even make sense.

Sorry OP; it sounds like your father might not be the right one to help teach you to drive. You'll do better in a professional driver's ed environment.

You're right, but only because they have at least a brake pedal if not an entire set on controls in the passenger seat of those cars.

A professional will probably also be better for the nerves, pacing, pedagogy, etc. I suspect his dad didn't exactly do a good job of putting him at ease. Also starting in the driveway may not have been the best idea.

my dad took me to an empty parking lot. It was huge. I tell people to go there since it's usually empty and you can practice until you feel ready. So I agree with you, driveways aren't good places to start lol.

I hope the car didn't go through your garage. Also I hope you have good car insurance. Good luck :(

That's why when I first started to practice I was in a parking lot. I warmed up to backing out of the garage that takes some skill and gotta be comforable with driving first.

My dad taught me how to drive and be was very calm. Then the first time I went driving with my mom I was drifting towards a pole and my mom SLAPPED my hand TOWARDS the side of the street the pole was on. To this day I refuse to drive with her

Yeah. People should be really calm when their kid is about to destroy the house.
