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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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.

I just got my g1 here in Ontario. I'm not allowed to drive without a G license holder in the passenger seat. Isn't it the same in most provinces?

Different ranks, but essentially. Here in Alberta you need a class 7 learners for a year, fully licenced (not GDL) driver with you at all times, then another round of tests and you get a GDL class 5, no night driving, zero alcohol, passenger limits for 2 years.

A car is replaceable but family/humans are not...if he is okay and didn't hurt anyone in the process the car is the only problem...

Licences are issued to far too many people.

This is why i think it should be compulsory to spend a year driving before you do your test. Whilst learning to drive, it should also be mandatory to be taught how to control a skidding car (or at least attempt too) and they should take you offroading to learn how to drive in difficult conditions. Also, to maintain a high standard it should be compulsory that you have to redo your driving test every few years (no need for the compulsory re learning in skid cars part, just a test to make sure you can still do it all) to ensure you haven't picked up bad habits. Afterall, drivers of public transport vehicles need to be retrained each year, and cars need to be mot'd, so why is it that a car drivers licence lasts 50 years? There are too many dangerous drivers on the road and it really needs to change.

in Australia to get your licence you need to do 100hrs of driving with a licenced driver and 10 of those need to be night driving. once you pass the test you have 1 year on a red p (provisional) licence, then 2 years on a green p licence before you can get your open licence. also you need to do a hazard perception test as well.

NSW I'm guessing? VIC is 120 hours driving minimum, 10 must be night driving, then if you're under 21 when you get your licence, 1 year on red probationary plates and maximum of 1 peer passenger between the ages of 16-21 (unless they're directly related to you or under/over the age restrictions), and three on green probationary plates. If you're 21 when you get your licence you go straight onto Green P's.

The HPT test is a joke, you just touch a screen anywhere to signify when you would brake or pull out in an intersection. You still don't have to actually identify the hazard, just get the timing right. I remember when I did mine, one of the shots the road looked clear, so I hit go, only for a speeding driver coming the other way to overtake blind. I would have been killed if it was real, but I still passed

Bet you'll think twice now about letting a just licensed teen take your car for a spin
