Today, my teenage daughter got her driver’s license. Less than an hour later she wrecked my wife’s new minivan. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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 watched as the teenage neighbor girl tried to parallel-park between me and my wife's cars. She was doing pretty well until she backed into mine, got scared, hit the accelerator and ran into my wife's. FML

Today, my teenage stepdaughter wrecked her third car texting and driving. I’ve pleaded with my husband to stop buying her new ones and to revoke her driving privileges. He’s so desperate for her to love him that he’ll give her literally anything. I’m scared she’s going to get someone killed. FML

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

Baby you can't drive my car
Today, my girlfriend has spent months convincing me to let her have a go driving my Mercedes, and like a fool I gave in and let her drive it once round the street. She didn’t make it 12 inches before she reversed it into the gate post, denting the body, and destroying the paintwork. FML

Today, my daughter managed to crash my car. It's okay though, the insurance will cover it. However, it won't cover all the items she damaged crashing into a garage sale. FML

Today, I was T-boned at an intersection. My wife got pissed when I didn't immediately check on her, but rather the other driver. That other driver was my daughter. FML

Licence to drive
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, without trying, I convinced my 24 year-old daughter that Stop signs with a white border around it were optional. Her car is now totaled and she’s in the emergency room with whiplash. I didn’t think she’d be that gullible. FML

Should've given her more than a quick crash course before letting her get her license.

Just because a person is licensed to drive does not mean they should do it on their own, in a car probably larger than the one they took lessons in, less than the time it takes to buy a coffee later. Kinda deserve it tbh...

Ummm... YDI for allowing her to drive a new vehicle. Sure it sucks but I still get anxious to drive new/newer nicer vehicles and I've had my license for nearly 3 years now (not long but I'm still much more comfortable). We scrape curbs and make little mistakes when we're still learning, we should never be in posession of a new vehicle for a while, especially without someone ensuring we drive correctly and safely.

That's why you NEVER let a teenager drive a new car - even WITH adult supervision.

That's what you get for owning a minivan

Of course she did. What self-respecting teen can be seen is such a piece of shit? With the insurance money, get her a hot car and your wife a bus pass.

You let a teenager drive a brand new vehicle?

My first one was a refurbished 12 year old car. I didn't wreck it but even a total loss wouldn't have been that big a deal.

I think my parents had the right idea. I never drove their cars after I got my license. It was about 3 years before I drove again, and that was my boyfriend’s car.

What was the point of getting your license if you weren't going to drive again for another 3 years?

I have to ask why would you let your newly licensed driver, with no experience, drive your brand new vehicle?
