Today, I took my daughter out driving to practice for her road test. I told her to make a left into a parking lot. She missed the 30-foot wide entrance, but not the two-foot wide tree. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my 15 year-old daughter driving. I yelled at her for not going safely around corners. On the way home, while demonstrating how to drive right, I went around a corner and hit a cement truck. FML
Today, I’m learning to drive and finally felt confident enough to park in a tight spot with my instructor watching. I nailed the angle perfectly, but when I tried to get out, I realized I'd parked so close to the line that I couldn’t open the door. I had to climb out of the passenger side while my instructor pretended not to laugh. FML
Today, I took my driving test. Completing the test, we returned and parked at the testing facility. As my tester was complimenting me, I leaned down to wind my window up, catching my long hair in the window. Frantically thrashing, I put the car in drive and floored it into a concrete wall. FML
Today, I drove 45 minutes to take my full driver's test. At the end of the test, the instructor told me I'd done everything perfectly, but had failed before I left the parking lot. I didn't see the "one way" sign at the entrance. FML
Today, I took my driving test. I had pulled out of my three point turn in a neighborhood and started driving again, thinking something wasn't quite right. The lady testing me looked over at me and said, "Sweetie, you're driving on the wrong side of the road." FML
Today, I was in a parking lot, doing donuts in my dad's car to rizz some baddies. It was going great until some dumbass got in the way and got launched twenty feet. I panicked, lost control of the car, and smashed into a decorative tree. FML
Today, I was teaching my daughter how to drive. We were passing by a merge lane; I told her to slow down and let a green car merge in front of us. She said, "Fuck the green car" and sped up, colliding with it. Apparently she didn't know that would happen. FML
Today, I took my driving test. I was nervous, but I thought I followed the rules of the road pretty well. My tester ended up failing me for "backing out too slowly". FML
Today, I was nervous as hell for my driving test. The instructor told me to drive a straight line in reverse. I forgot to put the car in reverse from drive and drove straight into a parked vehicle. Which happened to be owned by the instructor. FML
Today, I was taking my driving test and everything was going perfectly. As I pulled back into the testing center, I smiled because I knew I'd passed. Then I got out of the car without pulling the handbrake. The examiner had to jump back in and hit the brakes before it rolled into an actual parked car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I've always found it a little strange that Americans teach their own kids how to drive, we have professionals in specially altered cars to do that and we have about 1% of your amount of traffic accidents caused by people under 25. It's seems a little reckless

we have driving schools too with cars that have brakes on the passenger side, but it's totally optional. Parents can choose to teach their kids themselves if they prefer to.

same here in Australia, anyone can teach you as long as they've got a full license and not lost it at all in the last 12 months or something, or you can use a driving instructor

another thing is cost... teaching your own kid costs like $30 for materials... driving school is usually upwards of $400

Grand Theft Auto makes driving and picking up hookers so easy.

Mom taught me in park. Left turn, right turn, brakes.... Then she took me to a school or library late at night and let me drive After we got to the parking lot! Not before.

Well that makes sense, considering the rise in danger at night. It would be much easier to get into a wreck. A parking lot is a good compromise to learn about night driving without wrecking your car.

I already knew how to drive before I took drivers lessons. After the first road hour, the guy just took me around to do some of the stuff from the more advanced driving classes he taught. And that's the story of how I learned how to do 180's and 360's.

Ooh, that's bad... But I guess it's better she does that in front of you than with her driving teacher. I hope no one got hurt!!

Pleeeeeeeease don't let her get her license until after at least 5 more years of practice. Think of us other people on the road and our insurance premiums.

I was wondering. That comment reminds me of something you'd hear on a scratched CD.

How did she miss a 30 foot entrance is what I'm wondering? Were you yelling sorry "directing" her? Or letting her text....it's just that's a large gap to miss when making a turn.
