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

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.

He literally did go out for a spin. Hope he is ok

And now i'm inclined to ask how he got his license, assuming he had taken his driving lessons, classes and test and eventually suceed on then, I think thats very very unlikely given the fact that new drivers are more careful and fear to do anything wrong and all

Well, since he's a teenager, he thought nothing would happen if he drove like an ass. He had to have been holding back while driving with his parents and instructors because he would get reprimanded, possibly grounded, and fail his test. New drivers are NOT always careful, because a license gives a teen a new sense of freedom, which most are likely to abuse.

A lot of idiots manage to pass their road tests. Just because you passed doesn't mean you're really good at it.

wow he just got his license and you trusted him to take the car out by his self... not smart on your part.

He had a license, he should have been able to be trusted to drive, that's the point of the licensing process. I for one started driving to school and work the day I got my license, all those years ago.

Your kid seems like the total package.

Kinda makes you wonder how he even got his license.

Depends on the drivers test. In NY the test is very difficult and strict. Here in NJ the license test is done on a course at the dmv. He may have had the "required" hours to go for his license, but no where near enough actual on road experience. I don't know if the drivers test differs that wildly up in Canada, but it is possible.

Thanks for the fyi. Each state has different rules and regulations.

It seems that everyone is blaming OP or the son. It was most likely neither of their faults. The first time I drove by myself after getting my liscenes some idiot ran full speed past a stop sign without stopping. If i didn't stop in time this would have been me. I can see how it may not have been either of your faults OP and I hope your son is ok.
