never teach your own kids how to drive. You'll both be traumatized, and your car and garage will be wrecked, and maybe your marriage.



I tell you that drivers ed is the great untapped video market... this is where they need to make a tv show. Drivers ed instructors tell the stories and actors re-enact the scenes, just like those History Channel historical battle scenes

  1. I remember driving home with my permit after I passed the DOT test. Once we got out onto country roads where the speedlimit was 55... My mother who was in the passenger seat kept yelling at me "just because you can go 55 doenst mean you have to"
    ha ha ha

  2. If she wasn't lying down it would be easier to drive.

    1. Ha! I was just talking to someone about that... but would her face being an inch higher and 6 inches closer to the steering wheel really change that she's new to driving, uncomfortable due to every mistake she's just made being pointed out, having someone in the back seat, and dad not being very good at controlling his daughters too fast for her inexperience driving...all compounding into not stopping with a seriously generous amount of space between her front bumper and whatever is in front of her? Maybe. If she were only aware of the common technique of seeing over the hood to the bottom of the object in front of you when you stop, she'd have been ok

    2. I say avoid all of that, have her wreck someone elses car, and their nerves, and their insurance premium. Just don't teach your own kids!

  3. Why do you need to tell someone to stop?

    1. an astute observation. They really ought to have good enough vision and brain function to decide when to not drive into a collision

    Looks like she needed to start out in a vacant parking lot with a few orange cones.

    1. Hey! Sharp observation, something the girl doesn't have!

  6. first time ever behind the wheel, and its in a nice car on the street??

    not in a clunker in an empty parking lot ?

    my kid was in my lap steering before he could reach the pedals.
    and doing donuts in a cow pasture years before he could legally drive on the highway.

    and sending you kid to a driving school, and then to a high performanch driving school where they teach em how to handle skids, etc, is well worth the $$$
