Today, I wanted to prove to my dad that I can drive, so that he'd let me use his car in future. Let's just say I helped him remove the fence that he was planning to repair. FML

OP here. Just to clarify it was a small fence(with decorative purposes), that you put next to flowers. Since the car is an SUV, I didn't see it. I didn't know it was there, because my dad took it from it's original place and put it on the grass.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#39, I have driven a large SUV. And a big full-sized van. And if you can't see behind you, you HAVE to look before you get into it. That's just part of driving. If you don't check? You'll hit a fence...or a dog...or a kid. NEVER back up if you can't see what you are backing into, ever ever ever ever. EVER. Take the extra five seconds before getting into it so that you can look. If you get into it and realize you can't see behind you? You put it in park, get out, and take a quick look. The OP learned a lesson about responsible driving and all he hit was a small fence...he should count his blessings. I'm just glad it was a fence and not someone's dog napping in the yard.

When I was younger I once removed a tree. Unfortunately it was one that we'd just transplanted to a new spot. Tough luck, OP.

Is it really that hard to drive? I've had my license for 8 years and never gotten into an accident.

Actually it can be that hard. Ever heard of someone failing their driving test?

Also try backing up in a large truck/ SUV. Your field of vision is restricted to mirrors.

I wasn't trying to say that you can't see behind you I was just saying that you have to rely on the mirrors a lot more than with a car, due to a truck bed or having the rear window higher above the ground and further back.

So you drove on the grass? Is that acceptable where you come from? It certainly isn't here. And if you can't notice where the road/driveway meets grass/sidewalk/plants/other then you should NOT drive in the near future. A large vehicle is NOT an excuse for hitting things.

So it's illegal to drive on my family's own property? "From where I come from" my family doesn't keep the car on the street because it's not safe.

Where I come from its illegal to park on the street.

Where I come from everyone has millions of cars so we fight for all the spaces outside on the street. If you go to the store for literally 10 mins to get something fast, you'll come back finding your space is taken lol

If you drove with your dad: Not surprising something bad happened, driving with parents can be a bitch. If not: Then, irony strikes again!

"OP said he could drive and he actually couldn't". That's not ironic, it's stupid.
jackiemora 18
The irony was they wanted to prove they could, and they proved they couldn't. Who really know if OP can drive, everyone has accidents.

He might not even let you bike. Lol

I give you my condolences....... Good luck passing a drivers test
isuckwithnames 22
Driver's test is easy. Especially if you are in a large truck.
