Today, I got my first driving lesson from my dad. We traded seats, I started the car and his entire lesson was, "Go." FML

Today, on my first driving lesson, I crashed my instructor's car. I didn't even make it out of the parking lot. FML

Today, I had my first driving lesson. I learned how to be stopped by a cop, who told me what a horrible driver I was. FML

Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML

Today, as I was taking the driver's test to get my license, I backed into a car. It belonged to the instructor sitting in my passenger seat. FML

It's not like riding a bike
Today, I bought my very first car. My dad insisted on driving it, just to see how it handles, and drove it right off the bridge near our house into our river because he hasn’t driven anything in 15 years, which also means he has no insurance, at all. FML

Today, I passed my driver's test. My instructor took the learner signs off his car and let me drive back to my place. I guess he didn't bet on me crashing the car just a few blocks from the test center. FML

In my area, there was an accident recently when a professional driving instructor confused a 17 year old boy on his first driving lesson. He told him to 'take a slanted left turn in order to get in lane' (it's hard to translate, I don't even fully understand it when I read it). The boy panicked, took a complete left turn against oncoming traffic and rammed an elderly lady's car. So, just saying 'Go' isn't the worst driving lesson.

That sounds like my ex-engineer Dad's take on the theory aspect of car driving: how brakes work. I remember getting confused by his explaination, skimming the book and just saying, "... there's nothing in here about a spline..."

Better than my first driving lesson from my dad. "Now, since this is your first time behind the wheel, listen very closely. This, this is a DEATH MACHINE. One tiny little wrong move and you kill us all. Our lives are in your hands, so please if you don't want to die and kill your entire family, listen to what I say or our deaths will be all your fault." Needless to say, I didn't attempt and ended up getting my license at twenty.
