kickinchick -> I need a blindfold (6/20/2006 5:05:23 PM)
Baby Boy has his learner's permit....and I can't watch. I might as well have a blindfold, because the first hour of driving my eyes were closed half of the time. Hmmm, perhaps a gag too...as I know my screams freaked Baby boy out. Shiat....Fastlane, come teach baby boy to drive.....puleeeze. Help! smiles and grins...

I taught my little brother how to ride a bike. He could not grasp it...until I said- steer it like dad steers a steering wheel. --once he did- he did fine. :-)

Lol, you have my sympathy, my oldest daughters first lesson was in a huge church parking lot, at 5 miles an hour while i screamed turn the wheel or stomp the brake she hit the church................. dad took over driving lessons.

my mom taught me how to drive. i believe shes the reason why when im driving, im so nervous. she screamed at the littlest things. AAAGH! stop light. (mind you it was one about a few thousand feet away that was red and mine was green). its a wonder her and i survived the first and only two days i drove with her...dad however is another story...

Wow....I am so lucky. Both my sons learned to drive while visiting their grandparents in Indonesia. From what I was told...they were given the car and turned loose in a huge open field in the jungle..(where they live) sort of learn or crash. Thankfully I had no idea this was taking place or I would have been a basket case...lol but It did spare me the anxiety you are going through. Good luck

My daughter is currently enrolled in driver's ed and I am nervous about it for sure. She's read the handbook and I ask her questions and of course she know's everything like most 16 year olds[;)] Now I know what my Mother went thru when I was learning to drive. I wonder if now is a good time to take up drinking... ~Lashra

My ex asked me to teach her to drive but I refused and said she would be better off with professional lessons. ( I knew her too well). Her first driving instructor after several lessons refused to teach her anymore, saying she was a homicidal maniac. She got a new instructor who despite acquiring a nervous tick during the period of having my ex as a pupil, did get her up to standard to take a test.(OK this is debateable, maybe he just wanted to get rid of her) The test was cut short because the examiner, forgetting all diplomacy, said she was 'fucking nuts!' and a danger to all who dared venture out of their homes. She never did learn to drive and blames everyone but herself. She really does change personality behind the wheel. Normally she is a very quiet and mild mannered person.

Irishblu -> RE: I need a blindfold (6/21/2006 5:04:00 AM)
My daughter who is 17, to be 18 in Aug, just got her permit. After trying to teach her twice before and needed large doses of Xanax after, I paid for her to go to driving school. She passed with flying colors and the instructor said she did really well. Our first time out together with her driving, we were just cruising along on neighborhood streets and she begins to point out all the stop signs she missed during drivers training! After I slowed my heartbeat I asked her to just stop talking and drive! It does get easier each time, so far I've let her drive 5 times. Good luck with your son! Irish :)

Quivver -> RE: I need a blindfold (6/21/2006 5:48:36 AM)
2 out of 4 demon spawn drive. those two i was lucky enough to pass off to others after they took the classes at school. #1 was always safe, #2 was the one I didnt want to ride with... today almost a decade later I can sleep while she drives. Problem is #3 is next.... her first experiance was in the 1 ton truck out in the pasture, when that went well we moved onto the Orchard. A year or so lasped, now she thinks turning and stopping are like video games. I can see the two wheel turn comming soon. sigh, I think I'm going to be in the market for a 48 Desoto, I wonder if they put a 4 cyl in them? Good luck!!!

People shouldn't be allowed to drive until they are 35 and have past a maturity test. That way car accident fatalities will be drastically reduced by keeping drivers off the road that think that driving at breakneck speed is good driving. It ain't, its crap driving and its driving that kills innocent people.

It ain't, its crap driving and its driving that kills innocent people. I used to think that. But you know what? It's human nature to abuse new privileges. It might help a little, but whether you're 16 or 75, your first time behind the wheel alone is going to make you take some risks you wouldn't after you've gained more experience. Age aside, it's experience that makes a good driver. If only everyone would act like it.

MistressSassy66 -> RE: I need a blindfold (6/21/2006 11:06:01 AM)
I guess I'm lucky..the worst thing to happen is him down shifting from 5th to 2nd I'm calmly saying push in the clutch...then screaming push in the clutch....as the pick up truck is revvving like a jet engine....LOL Its a Chevy,been rolled over on its side( once it set and all the fluid went back to where its supposed to...it started right up),goes over little trees when we 4 wheel with it...Oh and it loves mud. I love My truck...[:D]

kickinchick -> RE: I need a blindfold (6/21/2006 11:35:26 AM)
The replies are soooooo funny, thank you for making this at least a bit easier on me after hearing your stories. MistressSassy...OMG....I'm only talking automatic transmission here......I can not begin to think of the cardiac arrest I would be in if I was teaching to drive a stick.........I'm sure I'd pull the damn thing off (the stick shift, that is) and beat him to hell with it....Laughs out loud! [:D]

petwolf22 -> RE: I need a blindfold (6/21/2006 3:40:07 PM)
i learned to drive my stick shift (my first car) when i was 15 by driving my mom's automatic van home during my lunch break at school and taking my car out around my neighborhood. [;)] Hehe, my mom still doesn't know about that one.
