Today, I got in a minor car accident because my mom had to check how many likes her last photo on Instagram had while driving. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I accidentally crashed my mom's car into my dad's car. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML
Today, I wrecked my car because my mom texted me, telling me not to text and drive. FML
Today, I got in a car accident on the way to the DMV to take my drivers test. FML
Today, I rear-ended a car while I was texting about the accident ahead which was causing all the traffic. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. When I came home, I told my mom. She just got angry with me, blamed me for it, and didn't even ask if I was OK. FML
Today, my mother and I almost got driven off the highway by an SUV because we couldn't speed more than we were already. She had a major car accident by a drunk driver in the past, and she was inconsolable after this. We weren't able to get their license plate. FML
Today, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML
Today, as I was driving in reverse, I hit my boyfriend's mom's car. I met her for the first time while giving her my information. FML
Today, my mom drove my car and had to make a U-turn on a narrow street. Instead of slowing down, she sped up to turn, running off the road and denting my car. To make things worse, she blamed me for not giving her good directions, then followed that up with, "It's not that bad." FML

I agree, your Mom sucks.

That's all on her. Safety can't be stressed enough, ESPECIALLY with all the shitty drivers these days (trust me, I live outside Washington, DC). FYL OP

That's what happens when your mom is only 17

I can't help myself, so I'm asking for forgiveness in advance. First of all, yeah, your mother should not even have her phone on when she's driving. In an emergency, it's easy enough to turn on, and if it's impossible to turn on for whatever reason, most likely HAVING it on won't make a whole lot of difference. Just to be clear, though: YOU did not get into a minor traffic accident. Your mother did. You were just lucky enough to be in the car with her. But most of all, sounds like all of you are OK -- cars are easier to repair than people. Glad it wasn't worse!

If she really had to check her phone and was willing to do it while driving you should have checked her phone for her

I hate it when my moms on Facebook while driving. And she wants to get mad at me every time I tell her that she needs to get off the phone
