charliegrs
I was 16 drinking with some friends in the middle of the day. Out of nowhere I hear a knock on the door. It's my dad "let's go im going 1/2
2/2 to teach you how to drive" yeah that was fuckin scary
GTimgur
It's always weird to me that some panickers mash the gas. I'd think the general instinct would be to hit the brake.
RdizzyC
I'm betting it is people that drive with both feet, one on gas, one on brake, rather than just use 1 foot switching back and forth.
Skywalker2416
Just realized why it’s nice to have a handbrake. Lol
AntiPiety
I was wondering how he stopped the car, if the kids foot still had the throttle opened that brake isn’t stopping shit though
esparadrapo
When I was getting mine there was this other student that was making dumbfuck mistakes all the time. The teacher had to write "left" and ...
"right" on his thumbs so he could properly follow his directions.
Kaavster
I wonder if these parents ever recorded themselves screaming at their kids while driving. My dad was the worst. After 10 years he 1/2
He finally admitted I’m a good driver. He said “you’re 99% a good driver” LOL 2/2
LittleAlly
I love how calm and patient that dad was. So helpful to laugh through the frustration.

My 16 year old just started practicing driving. It scared me to death.
SKIDMARK95
Take them somewhere wide open and rural and teach them to always check their blind spots!
Lol I did. We live in a town of 1900 people. All of it is rural. Still scared the shit out of me.
It's a big milestone, and definitely a nerve wracking one

Jonataurus
Can anyone just teach driving in the us? On public roads?
DJMaxFly
No. 15 year olds can drive with an adult who had their license. 16-18 can drive with more people as they get closer to 18. They have curfews
And they can only break them for work or if they are with their legal guardian. I believe the same aceptions apply when driving out of state
Kunitsu
in most cases i dont think your allowed to drive outside of the state you have a permit in. atleast thats how it was when i had mine
i drove in empty parkinglots, the highway when it was usually empty, and some of our side streets for practice =D i did pretty good lol
CaptWally
My sister took me to a snow covered lot so I'd know what it's like to slide and how to correct. Good lesson. Also, the day i got my first
Car my dad had me go to a straight stretch of back country road and said "floor it" then never do it again now that i knew what it was like.
ComeOnManYouHadOneJobToDo

My father taught me at 9 yr how to drive and by 11 I was a pro thanks to him. This father was cool. Practice makes it better.
whitter86
Same. We learned on country backroads though. Then we had to drive while he built fence for the cows. Graduated to driving tractors.

Learned at 10, then again I lived in Alabama and my 12 year old neighbor would drive to the corner store to buy her mom beer and cigarettes.

same but was my grandpa. he figured all boys just knew how to drive due to genetics. most lessons where me driving, him sleeping
We are 3 girls and me being the oldest, I had a passion for driving. We practiced around a park in between highways. Had to be careful.
CentsVern7
Yea, me and my siblings were like this too, grandpa got us a go cart, that was the start of it.He also let us shift his manual truck for him
Oh shift gear is fun too.
Yes! We could tell just by the sound. Definitely helped me later driving stick shift cars.

same, used to sit on his knee when i was a kid and he would control the gas/brake because i couldnt reach them yet. drove alone at 12 on lol
shakinmyhead
My dad made me so uncomfortable that i started making mistakes i would never thought of doing
Kingsdotter

I used to commute 1.5 hours between cities, I drove Uber for six months in all weather, my dad asked me to give him a ride to the store.

I was so uncomfortable driving with my dad. To this day he thinks I just hate in general driving because I never wanted to drive with him.
postman69
It's much healthier for you and your parent to get a professional instructor. I worked to pay one. And no drama.
windrapier
My dad's and my anxiety worked each other up like crazy. A professional instructor worked great, he knew how to stay calm with it all
AbbeyHurtfew
My instructor made me even more nervous than my parents did. Got uncles/aunt to teach me and that worked.
What ever works for you.
Ulthirm
Required by my state to do this alongside guardian driving (my parent riding with me. I forgot the name for it alright) the one hired by
Frederf
My paid driving instructor told me minute one "drive to the corner and turn right" I asked for some instruction like how to start it, etc "do it right now or this lesson is over, no refunds" my parents were so much better
The school for this purpose would hit the student brake if you entered intersection and it turned to yield (forcing you into a stop in the
Middle of the intersection) because you scared him. Blind fucker wouldn't be watching properly and the light changing spooked him.
mactoby
My dad yelled at me so much I wondered if driving was even worth it.
Mooselover2000
My mom taught me how to drive (good). My dad taught me how to drive stick (BAD!! NO! WRONG! YOU'RE GRINDING IT!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU??)
SecondTomorrow
My dad bought me a 93 manual Ford Escort when I was 16. "Learn how to drive it." On my own. I did but damn I ruined that clutch..
Ellimem
How though? I learned on a 1939 Farmall tractor. Only instruction was “clutch in, put in gear, clutch out” and I didn’t grind it.
JESTER31
First time I’ve sat behind the wheel of a car, my brother and mom we’re both screaming at me to the point I got out the car while still in 1
drive bc I was about to breakdown. I was 16, I’m 21 now; I’ve been too afraid to drive &have never sat behind the wheels of a car ever since
VeryEnthusiasticWalksThroughtheWoods
My dad was definitely more critical of my driving so I drove with my mom instead, was way easier learning without being super tense
WilliamWeird
In my thirties, still haven't gotten over high pitched screaming all my siblings got for driving in an empty parking lot.
HotDiggityDaffodil
Omg yeah! I broke more laws because I was panicking from his screaming than in my subsequent 17 years of driving.
ableck
Had good motivation going when I was 16-17, then this. 30, still no license.
valkrez
Same with my mom. I parked the car in the middle of the street once and just got into the backseat.
Gibleteousjack
It's not.
Metalsmith21
He yelled at me for driving in my lane. Neighborhood was under construction, he was worried about debris near the curb.
ItHurtsWheniPoo
I learned how to drive by watching my mom... and then doing the opposite.
AvidLebon
I have massive anxiety whenever I have to drive from that so I moved to a city with great public transportation. Haven't driven in ten years
youolestank
My dad would yell and grab the wheel forcefully which would only make me more nervous. I taught my lil bros how to drive for this reason.
BobaFettApproves
I grew up in Detroit. First drive was the freeway. 85 was too slow. Yell-ably too slow.
ClownSteakTasteFunny
1.Just like many of you, my dad yelled at me almost everytime we would practice driving and it put me off wanting to get my license. Decided
2.about two years ago to give it a go on my own with a school and managed to get my license in october 2019. Doing it on your own is my tip.
mastercontributhor
Amen brother.
oaktreenaps
I ended up in an accident while learning to drive because my pops was yelling in my ear. I was stressed TF out and panicked.
JiffyGee
Can’t remember if it was me or my sibling learning to drive with my mom, but my mom screamed to look out for a tree...in a parking lot...
well over a few hundred feet away.
bobtheaxolotl
My dad would hit me while learning to drive, mad that I for some reason didn't know how to do something I'd never done before.
He would hit me while driving 60 on the highway. I hated driving for a long time because of him. He's a real piece of shit, honestly.
DarkBusterBaron
It was my mom for me she got so upset about every little mistake and in some cases mistakes i never even made my dad was much more chill.
officialgifpolice
Same, my dad taught me how to drive a manual and was a much better teacher. Also mum always made me drive under the speed limit which is 1/2
Bad practice for when you're suddenly driving by yourself. 2/2
My dad took me driving on a manual, for my first trip ever I was driving back home. An up hill drive the entire way, then he'd freakout when
I'd stall on accident at lights (like I hadn't just gotten behind this wheel 10 minutes ago for the first time ever) sadly I couldn't even
Cheater brake because it was a tug type brake. Worst drive I've ever done in my life and is one of the reasons I havmn't bothered to learn
Manual since. Anxiety just skyrockets thinking of it.
littlelily16
Ditto. I even put off getting my license, from permit, because the lessons weren't worth the stress
DarthDrizzt42
My dad screamed in my face that I'd commit vehicular manslaughter and kill someone...cause I accidentally revved it while in park
BEKeener
My mom took off her belt jumped across me and slammed on the brakes because I was heading right for the "cliff" there wasn't a cliff!
iScreenshotProfiles
Lol let’s take my son to learn driving next to the cliff!
RustyCreakySqueaky
Scoo Scoo
MadHakon
Absolutely no one in my family was helpful with getting my license. Mother never took me driving, my older siblings both overreacted (1)
everytime I was behind the wheel, lots of things like that. I was so happy when my roommate helped me practice. Some of us definitely (2)
need someone that is calm and collected. I haven't even had my license for two years and this past week, drove halfway across the country (3
Same my dad was such a dick my buddy was the firs t person I was calm driving with
It was like night and day for me. Hard to focus when you're anxious, you start making more mistakes and eventually give up.

My dad would yell and grab the wheel forcefully which would only make me more nervous. I taught my lil bros how to drive for this reason.

I grew up in Detroit. First drive was the freeway. 85 was too slow. Yell-ably too slow.

1.Just like many of you, my dad yelled at me almost everytime we would practice driving and it put me off wanting to get my license. Decided

I ended up in an accident while learning to drive because my pops was yelling in my ear. I was stressed TF out and panicked.

Can’t remember if it was me or my sibling learning to drive with my mom, but my mom screamed to look out for a tree...in a parking lot...

My dad would hit me while learning to drive, mad that I for some reason didn't know how to do something I'd never done before.

He would hit me while driving 60 on the highway. I hated driving for a long time because of him. He's a real piece of shit, honestly.

It was my mom for me she got so upset about every little mistake and in some cases mistakes i never even made my dad was much more chill.

Same, my dad taught me how to drive a manual and was a much better teacher. Also mum always made me drive under the speed limit which is 1/2

Bad practice for when you're suddenly driving by yourself. 2/2

My dad took me driving on a manual, for my first trip ever I was driving back home. An up hill drive the entire way, then he'd freakout when

I'd stall on accident at lights (like I hadn't just gotten behind this wheel 10 minutes ago for the first time ever) sadly I couldn't even

Cheater brake because it was a tug type brake. Worst drive I've ever done in my life and is one of the reasons I havmn't bothered to learn
Ulthirm
Manual since. Anxiety just skyrockets thinking of it.

Ditto. I even put off getting my license, from permit, because the lessons weren't worth the stress

My dad screamed in my face that I'd commit vehicular manslaughter and kill someone...cause I accidentally revved it while in park

My mom took off her belt jumped across me and slammed on the brakes because I was heading right for the "cliff" there wasn't a cliff!

Absolutely no one in my family was helpful with getting my license. Mother never took me driving, my older siblings both overreacted (1)
MadHakon
everytime I was behind the wheel, lots of things like that. I was so happy when my roommate helped me practice. Some of us definitely (2)

need someone that is calm and collected. I haven't even had my license for two years and this past week, drove halfway across the country (3

Same my dad was such a dick my buddy was the firs t person I was calm driving with

It was like night and day for me. Hard to focus when you're anxious, you start making more mistakes and eventually give up.
