Today, I just finished a driving school that I thought would lower my insurance by 10%. It was 30 hours so I was glad it was over, that was until I found out I took the wrong class. FML

Today, I completed driving school. After 30 hours of classwork, 6 hours of driving lessons, and a very tough driving test, I passed and can now get a 15% safe driver insurance discount. My friend just told me he only had to watch a 15 minute video to get the same discount. FML

Today, I drove 45 minutes to take my full driver's test. At the end of the test, the instructor told me I'd done everything perfectly, but had failed before I left the parking lot. I didn't see the "one way" sign at the entrance. 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

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, after finally getting my drivers license, I was able to drive myself to school for the first time! I got fined $50 for accidentally parking in the wrong lot. FML

Today, I took my driving test for the first time. The instructor stopped it after less than ten minutes, and insisted she drive back to the test centre "in the interest of public safety." FML

Today, after my driving instructor told me I should pass without any worries at all, I completely failed. I was hit by another car. While parked. FML

Today, I hit a parked car. It happened to be my driving instructor's car. While he was instructing me, sitting in the passenger seat. I don't think I'll pass. FML

I can understand initially going to the wrong class, but I don't see how you failed to realize it before the thirty hour course ended.

Hey, defensive driving is good! If you use what you know, at least you won't get into an accident and bring your insurance up.

It's still possible that someone else won't know what they're doing and cause an accident.

#8: of course, that won't preclude others from causing accidents, but some insurance companies only raise the cost if it was your fault. Defensive driving is still a good thing to learn, no? :)

I'm wondering the same.

I can see what you mean --I thought the same thing, but a lot of driving classes can be similar. It could be as simple as OP taking a class by someone who wasn't on a list of people that were deemed reputable by their insurance company. It could also be a different type of class under the subcategory the insurance company wanted. It could be a myriad of things but I agree, before taking a 30 hour class I would make damn sure I did my research and was in the correct class.

How is he/she suppose to notice that? I mean between all the sleeping and looking at the phone. I mean who are we kidding those classes are always the same anyway, right?
