Austin seems to be people going too slow or just randomly changing lanes with no blinkers. etc. Damn hippies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431751293876429570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274008188298840932.post-1786167506838502252011-05-17T05:23:35.324-07:002011-05-17T05:23:35.324-07:00You have no idea how hard I am laughing right now!...You have no idea how hard I am laughing right now! My son is 15, too...and Aaron just got his permit! I'm right there with you, Sista! I was in the back seat (hubby in the front) when he was backing out of a parking spot for the first time. He said "Jeez, Mom! Don't look so freaked out! You're freaking ME OUT!" I didn't know I WAS looking so freaked out!

I had a hard enough time teaching Thing 1 to ride a bike without losing all my hair. <br />Maybe that's why my parents made me get a job and buy my own stinkin car before I could learn to drive...and then it was all in driver's ed at school.Teamarciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02234702339055377426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274008188298840932.post-77617044485444484392011-05-16T21:18:29.886-07:002011-05-16T21:18:29.886-07:00Looking back I feel so bad for parents!

I was horrible...and that is not humility talking! Needless to say, the world will be much safer if he is the one to pass his ability onto our 3 children. He was actually a Driver Instructor once upon a time. <br />The irony is, I have been in countless accidents....all of which I was the passenger. And some have been pretty bad...flips and everything. But I have never even gotten a ticket (okay, that may have something to do with the Mister too.)LA Botcharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045857399816360885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274008188298840932.post-68440516565025633002011-05-16T16:44:01.189-07:002011-05-16T16:44:01.189-07:00Those sloth like reflexes sound all too familiar f...Those sloth like reflexes sound all too familiar from my second one.

She made us play"the light game" where if there was a red light we had to slow down so that by the time we got to the light it was red again. Other drivers LOVED that game. Then, at my last lesson I got the brake and gas pedal mixed up. She said I must be getting confused because my mom drove a stick. Nope. I didn't drive it. But, she decided to end my lessons and pass me before I got more confused. But, I turned out to be a great driver no matter what my husband says, so have faith! :)Noelle MacGregorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856469958288694489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274008188298840932.post-943352458733130082011-05-16T10:48:48.515-07:002011-05-16T10:48:48.515-07:00The above issue could lead passengers in his car t...The above issue could lead passengers in his car to prayer.JDaniel4's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354900916937838719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274008188298840932.post-27578024727707639802011-05-16T10:36:41.274-07:002011-05-16T10:36:41.274-07:00I feel your pain.

No. I can't handle it. <br /><br />I will, however, pass on this piece of advice. Always, always, always check your rear view mirror when backing out of the driveway. Because if you don't, there's a small chance you might accidentally back into your father who has just arrived home from the dealership in his brand new vehicle and can't find the horn to alert you.Big Fat Ginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462503578188104745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274008188298840932.post-90426268430921143532011-05-16T08:43:54.782-07:002011-05-16T08:43:54.782-07:00I once made the gas/brake mistake at work!

I worked at a fast food place, had parked to get my paycheck, and hit the gas and hit the drinking fountain on the outside of the building, breaking the water main and water went everywhere!

They didn't, really. My friend and I switched parents for the beginning because someone else's parents don't freak out nearly as much your own.<br /><br />And I feel for your son with the directions thing. It is the reason I wasn't allowed to drive anywhere by myself UNLESS MY BABY SISTER WAS IN THE CAR until I was almost 18. My sister was really good at first person shooter video games and can map a labyrinth in the dark. To this day she never gets lost. I still get a little lost going to work every day.Leauxrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056708620380337471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274008188298840932.post-37738219521498313042011-05-16T07:06:30.144-07:002011-05-16T07:06:30.144-07:00LOL I've been so freaked out from being a pass...LOL I've been so freaked out from being a passenger in my son's car in the early days of teaching him to drive that I'm not sure when I should start with my daughter. Been putting it off for months. I just need to catch my breath back before I give up the driver's seat again.Clairityhttp://hip2bmom.comnoreply@blogger.com
