bad or funny mistakes while learning to drive?

Well for me my mom was teaching me how to drive. So we we driving down the street and my mom seen a sign for an estate sale and wanted me to turn down the side street where it was at so she could look at it. So instead of slowing down like you shoud when driving I gave it the gas and took the turn on two wheels. Almost took out some cars on the side street. Needless to say after that number my mom didnt feel like going to any estate sales after that.

I really thank god that till now, I have not yet met with any major accidents. I did a small accident in which my car bumped into the front car but that was due to sudden brake. Thank god no damages were done to either of the cars. It was a pretty safe accident. I thank god for helping me during the time of crises and help me write the same response years after year.

Hi Mandy! ahahaha! he sure was hangin' on tight. It does happen to most who learning to drive. I got the brake and accelerator mixed up as well. I had one experience though when I was still learning how to drive years back. I was with a driving school and my car had the brakes on the passenger side so the instructor could brake at anytime when needed. It was actually the 2nd hour through the lesson when the instructor told me to finally drive on a busy highway with buses. I was so excited. The moment I made that right turn onto the highway, I immediately saw a bus to my right. In my excitement, I forgot to bring the wheels back straight and I continued going right and drove into the back of the bus. The instructor asked why I didn't straighten it up. I said, I was looking at the bus. It didn't happen again though. Take care and stay safe!

LOL. Not when I was learning but when I first drove an automatic car I'd put my foot on the clutch (automatics don't have them) and hit the brake pedal! My mother reversed into a telegraph pole when she was actually on her driving test. She didn't pass!

Well... I hit the sidewalks and although it was funny for me, but for my mom it wasn't funny at all... I am grounded because I learned to drive the car without her permission lol. But that's okay, I am having my own driving license now...

i am not good driver . i am very small hearted. i am fear from driving. in childhood i learnt driving very late . my younger often make fun of me for not driving . oneday i lost my temper and decided to learn driving because every make fool of me. i have strated my vehicle with confidence and drive for a mieal. all surprise at me but i donot know about the brake . on the sloping road i havenot use any brake. my friend again laught at my speed . then my sister told about the brake and explain its use after this i learn the driving and used it for ever this i have gain my confidence.

I have two that I think are good ones- When I was learning to drive a a speed my mother, a friend and i were on a hill in traffic. I started to roll back and did that kangaroo jump as you all it. Well after about three tries I started to laugh as did my friend and my mother. I was laughing so hard I rilled back into the car behind me. That guy started laughing too. Some cars went around me, making us laugh more. I think we sat through three lights before I got off that hill. I was teaching my oldest to drive. I had a crown vic, a rather big car. I had to pick up a check from one of my husband's clients and let my son drive me there. The parking lot was in front of their office and it was raised up. There were two trees in front, then a deep bank about six or seven feet down from the parking lot. Beyond that a ditch separated the lawn and sidewalk in front of the office(which was a model home So my son steps on the gas rather than the brake... we were air born, went between the tress and landed in the ditch between the sidewalk and the lawn of the office. The clients watched the whole thing happen!

My friend had just bought a second hand red Mustang (i forgot the model, it was a Firebird or something like that) and offered me the wheels. I had no license yet but since we're just driving inside our family compound it was safe. And stupid too. Because the road was small, and being short (5'1") i could not reach the brakes, so i just stirred left and right until i drove through the wall of our seminar house. It was a scene straight from an action movie, with smokes and shower of cement powder. I could not move, i was in shock. I paid for the house's damage which cost only about 500 pesos for the hollow blocks and my friend spent about 2 thousand pesos for dashboard damages. It was one crazy drive. Until now i could not get myself in front of the wheels. And that traumatic experience happened nine long years ago.

I'm useless. When I get the car going I'm absolutely fine, and can control it well round corners and the like, but when I have to use the clutch it stalls. It takes me a couple of goes to even get the car to move! I think it's because I'm nervous about crashing the thing, and I know that I shouldn't worry, but I can't help it sometimes!

The worst thing i did when i was learning to drive a vehicle is when my car tank run empty, i filled it with diesel instead of petrol.I thought then that petrol engine will run also if you put a diesel i never thought that it will damage the whole engine hehehehe.My mother was so angry then,She called our mechanic to do the draining of all diesel that i put in the tank.That was the big mistake i did..So sorry mom..

I had a friend once who was going to do his driving exam the next day so a friend of his was saying just for the fun of it he should knock someone over. come exam day he was driving and a pedestrian crossing was up and someone just ran across the pedestrian crossing and my friend hit him.When he got out to see if the person was ok it was his friend, they both looked so shocked and then burst out laughing.

well funny really

I was taking my driving test and made a left turn without even getting in the turning lane. Needless to say, I failed my test. I took it again and passed. I am probably one of the ditziest drivers on the road.
