Today, I learned that when I got my driver's permit, I agreed to be the designated driver for my family. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I was the designated driver. It was also my birthday party. FML
Stranded
Today, I volunteered to be my brother's designated driver. I told him throughout the night that I wasn't drinking, but he ended up leaving me at the bar and going to his friend's house in a cab for more drinks, taking my keys along with him. FML
Today, I failed to get my driver's licence. My father was the instructor. FML
Today, I was the designated driver. On the way home with my drunk friends, they decide to give me a beer shower. I swerved, and was pulled over by a cop moments after. I was the only one arrested. 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, I had my driver's permit in an envelope to keep it safe and a letter to mail out. I drove away from the post office with the letter in my hand. FML
Today, I passed my driver's test. My instructor took the learner signs off his car and let me drive back to my place. I guess he didn't bet on me crashing the car just a few blocks from the test center. FML
Party hard
Today, I was designated driver for my friends. This entailed standing around in the cold for 3 hours, not drinking, dealing with drunk people, and oh yeah, I almost forgot, cleaning up vomit from my hair, my clothes, and my new car. FML
Today, I hit someone’s car and got arrested for a DUI. I had to tell my parents so they could remove me from the insurance. My mom's response in the background after I told my dad was "I knew it." FML
Today, I'm the designated driver for a Christmas party I wasn't even invited to. Not only do I get to watch people have a good time, but I'm also supposed to not get involved in the party. FML

You over analyzed that way too much bro. Actually, I take the bro back, we aren't bros of any sort

I know in New York state, the person in the front can't be asleep or drunk. They still get a DUI if they are.

18, in Ontario your front seat adult has to meet the following criteria: 1) be insured on the vehicle being driven the driver with a permit 2) must have been driving on a full license (G - AZ not a G2 or G1 or M class licenses and license cannot be suspended) for at least 4 years 3) must be awake and/or have a BAC of no more then 0.06% There is no limit on passengers until G2 where you may not carry anymore then (2) passengers not in your family (direct or not) between 2am and 8am unless you have a fully licensed driver qualified as above. And plus half the cops wouldn't give them the ticket they would just give them a warning as it takes more drunk drivers off the road and when it comes to public saftey a inexperienced driver on city streets at low speed beats an intoxicated one at any speed regardless of experience.

Omfg what 8 was saying was that the intoxicated person doesnt have tobe in the front seat. There could be a perfectly somber person in yhe front seat.... Op should do what i do... While their intoxicated, video tape them promising you something or doing something extremly bizarre (which they always do) and send it to everyone you both knoww.... Does not matter if they r your parents... Easy and simple pay back

Should of been like "Oh HELL NO!" But if you are not paying for it work out some deal- my deal is that if I drive my brothers to swimming and my sister to ballet- everything is paid for. My brothers have swimming monday through Thursday and my sister has ballet friday

Put a sex doll in drivers seat and make a mixtape of car noises. They'll never know the difference

39 I notice you fail a lot on FML. If you understood what everyone else was saying if there was adult sober enough to drive they should drive not op. Also if there wasn't, op is not legally able drive still permit or not because all other passengers are drunk.

79, I can probably explain why 'it' always gets thumbed down; cause if you're anyone like me, you instantly see a Bieber picture and thumb down, sort of like instinct or an immediate reflex.

Ok how is it bad being a designated driver that isn't bad at all! Look at it as an opportunity to drive if u have a permit!

just shutup 21

Lol true 84 but if you also read most of "its" comments as well...they're pretty dumb. I say it's a combination of the two factors.

91- oh how that could've been possible. I had stopped talking entirely. But then you arrived, and decided to say something much later in an attempt to look tough, but really, you're a troll with no bridge. Now I'm back. See what you've done?

Actually in the Missouri drivers test book it only says you have to have an adult 21 or older it never says they have to be sober. Plus I was the same way and I read this part several times to make sure.

Just think of what will happen when OP gets their license.

I think if OP stays quiet, and just takes them to the ghetto once... They would not need to ever say no to being DD again.

If only it was that easy lol. I just got my liscense and a new car and now Im my families cabby. It sucks and if I say no they threaten to take the car away. Just something you have to get used too

37- I drove many times by myself when I had my permit. As long as you do as you have been taught, you should be fine.

No. Just no. If you get caught driving alone with a permit, you can get in a lot of serious trouble.

Dont care if you're the "designated driver", IGNORE THEM. Obviously you're a teen, you cant be the designated driver for your family, they cant hold you responsible for their rides home, can't they? Isnt, driving with drunk person illegal if you only have a permit?

Cool story bro.

That's pretty obvious... how is this an FML? It works that way for every teen. The price you pay for getting it before you're 18.
