Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son thought he'd take my new car for a drive without permission. He accelerated straight into a tree, reversed into a lamppost and then accelerated again into the neighbours car. FML
Today, I let my son drive us home. After just 10 feet, he crashed into a parked cop car. It was my squad car. FML
Today, I was giving my son a driving lesson. He blatantly ran a red light, so I told him to pull over to let me drive us home. As I walked over to the driver-side door, he instead locked me out and drove off by himself. FML
Today, after failing my learner's licence twice in the previous weeks, I finally passed. As I got home, I went for a drive with my dad. I smashed my mum's car into an old lady's fence and ended up in her backyard. FML
Today, I woke up and saw my new car was gone and my son seemed very shifty. When I questioned him with the cops, he admitted to taking it for a joyride and "leaving it" behind a derelict mall. We drove over. It was wrapped around a light post, completely destroyed. FML
Today, after having saved up my money for months to buy my college-bound son the car of his dreams, I got a phone call telling me it had been totalled during a drag-race. I only gave him the keys two days ago. FML
Today, my son got pulled over by a cop for speeding. He decided it was bullshit and floored the gas. He barely made it half a mile before losing control and crashing into a house. Now I'm being sued by the homeowner, my son is in jail, and my car is totaled. FML
Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML
Today, I let my boyfriend drive my car, knowing that he doesn't have a license. While he was out, he ran a stop sign, collided with another vehicle, and then left the scene of the accident. Then he lied to me about how the accident happened so I "wouldn't be so upset." FML
Today, I let my 19-year-old son drive my Lexus to his date. At 11:00 p.m., I watched him pull into the driveway with a broken taillight, marks and scratches all over the car, the front bumper missing, and him being nearly passed out because he's so drunk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And this is why auto insurance rates for teenagers are so much higher than for adults. Because, in general, they're idiots.

I hope he at least isn't hurt?! Sorry OP, you can always replace a car.

You never observed him drive before letting him go solo.? You should have seen that coming.

In my area, we're on a graduated driving system. Newly licensed drivers aren't permitted to drive after dark for six months? after they've been licensed, and aren't pemitted to drive alone at any time (without a licensed driver over age 25) in the car until after they've had their license for a full year. The kids complain about it. But things like this happen so much less often.

Damn, so over there a driver's license is basically a learner's permit. Where is that, btw

Boy, He must have been going fast and furious in your neighborhood if he totaled the car.

Make his butt pay the deductible and then inform him that according to the Insurance Fairy, the closer the accident occurs to the address listed on the policy, the higher the rates will go up. Better start flipping those burgers boy!

Hope you had a piece of shit car, if not....you do now. Sorry. You could make him pay for the damages to learn about taking responsibility for totaling your car in the form of a community college he needs to pay for hold down a job along with public transportation to a from everything until you feel he's ready to drive a car again. Also, have him take another driving test.

Buy your son a crappy junker that no one will care if it totaled! Take it from my family: my cousin Richard totaled my grandmother's car, 3 of his father's and his stepmother's! Mostly with booze, speed, and hormones!

How exactly did he get his license?
