Today, my mother said she trusted me enough to go with me for my first drive in my new car. As soon as we got in the car, she started hyperventilating and screaming we're going to crash. I didn't even start the engine. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML
Today, while driving on the streets for the first time, my mom decided that it would be an appropriate time to yell at me for every single mistake I’ve ever made in my life. This stressed me out so much I began driving against traffic. FML
Today, and for all my life, my dad has been feral about protecting his BMW; we weren’t even allowed to look at it. Well today he decided I was allowed to drive it as an 18th birthday present. I was so nervous, I hyperventilated and passed out in the seat before I even put the key in the ignition. FML
Today, my dad trusted me to go driving by myself in his car. I foolishly celebrated by doing a jump heel click, landed awkwardly, threw my hand out to stop myself falling, and scraped the whole bunch of keys down the driver's door. He trusted me for like 3 seconds and I blew it. FML
Today, while riding in the car with my mother, we got into an argument, at which point she pulled the vehicle over, took the key out of the ignition and used it to turn off the passenger airbag. She then continued driving in silence. FML
Today, I decided to drive my mothers Bentley. She is out of town and told me not to go near the car. Being 17, I didn't listen. As I was backing out the driveway, I was hit by an SUV, seriously damaging my moms car. Who was driving the SUV? My mom, coming home early. FML
Today, my mom offered to drive us into the city after Christmas. I told her months ago that I wasn't getting in a car she was driving, because I don't trust her not to secretly drink and drive. I guess she either forgot or didn't think I meant it. Now I have to tell her again, two days before flying down there. FML
Today, I just bought a car with all of my own money. Then, when I brought it home my dad informed me that my mom will be driving it to work every day. FML
Today, I got my first driving lesson from my dad. We traded seats, I started the car and his entire lesson was, "Go." FML
Today, I bought my very first car. My dad insisted on driving it, just to see how it handles, and drove it right off the bridge near our house into our river because he hasn’t driven anything in 15 years, which also means he has no insurance, at all. FML

This is when you tell her to calm down and everything will be fine and then peel out and slam the brakes and tell her thats what you learned in need for speed

We have the same mothers.

Exactly, and I wonder if your mom freaks out on busy/unfamiliar streets when SHE is the one driving? My mom does. She'll literally cry and hyperventilate. It's more of a FHL than FYL.

Imagine that traffic stop. Please ignore my mother I know shes trashed and teaching me but there was really no other way. I know how he feels though. The only time my mother will get in the vehicle with me is when she has had pain meds that make her loopy. Ive been driving for 5 years and never had a accident.

I got a similar problem that's preventing me from having a refresher's course of driving.

That's why I'm 18 and still don't have my license. My dad was like that and I couldn't drive with him. I finally moved out and am driving with my fiance. Going to get my license in a month, cause you apparently have to be 19 to get it in virginia unless you take drivers ed (which i can't afford) *****Driving with my dad!***** I turn onto a road with a 45mph speed limit. I had previously been stopped, so my speed is about 20 "ERIN SLOW DOWN!" "I'm only going 20 and the speed limits 45." "YOU'RE GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF YOU DO'NT SLOW DOWN!" "I"m going to cause and accident if I don't speed up!" "ERIN YOU MAKE ME NERVOUS!" (I ignore him, finally reach 40 mph and decide that's close enough to 45.) "SLOW DOWN THERE'S A STOP SIGN COMING UP!" "That's not for another mile and a half." "BUT YOU CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE *AT* THE STOP SIGN TO SLOW DOWN." "If I start slowing down from here I'll be at a dead stop way before then." "PULL THE CAR OVER! I'M DRIVING! YOU MAKE ME NERVOUS!"

XD Oh wow...and I thought having my driving 'instructor' screaming at me in Spanish was bad. I'm 21 and STILL have no license. The last time I had a decent chance behind the wheel was when I was 16.

Haha. I love how I totally posted that under the wrong username. (Note to self-always check to see if your friends are logged in to FML on your computer before posting. lol) Anyways, yeah it was horrible. Whatever though. Yeah. I drove with my mom before that and drove fine, but her car broke, so I couldn't drive in that one either.

wow..you should have sped up really fast that wouldve taught him a lesson but then again the next time you were in a car with him you would be taking him to the hospital or therapist
