This is HILARIOUS! I can totally relate to this, obviously not as a parent, but as a former L plater. I learnt to drive about 5 years ago and mum refused to get into the car with me until I'd done AT LEAST 40 hours practice. I can understand how it'd be terrifying. When I have teenagers, they're father can teach them. I don't want anything to do with it! x

Too Funny! Thanks for the laugh, & thanks for validating my decision to NOT teach our 18 yr old to drive - that's for her dad, & the professionals.

OMG, too funny Annie!!

This fills me with dread Annie. We lived in small country towns when we learnt to drive, so it was lots of paddock bashing and tip runs as practice. Yes, tip runs.

Anyway.... I taught Hubby to drive a manual car, and it was not pleasant. In one episode (the last) he managed a hill start and then in his panic/stress/whatever drove through a procession of Greek Orthodox church goers. They were celebrating Easter, we were celebrating a successful hill start. I yelled at Hubby to STOP FOR FUCK SAKE! He said I can't - I think he was scared he'd stall... again. So he wound down the window as angry church goers yelled at us in Greek and said, "I can't stop Man.... I can't stop"

I am not teaching my kids to drive. That's Hubby's job. I taught him, it's only right he shares in the hell that driving instruction is.

2011-03-31T16:15:19.082+10:00

Oh, we've been there already with out two girls, but not looking forward to boys. Eeek! And not only was this so great, the photo is pure gold! xx

2011-03-31T08:59:01.270+10:00

I abdicated responsibility for teaching my son to drive when he was 4. I mistakenly gave him the RTA driving handbook to keep him quiet (he liked the pictures of signs) but unfortunately he taught himself to read and then lectured me every time I tried to change lanes, turn corners, park or stop at traffic lights.

Going out driving only wearing PJs? Well, that was never going to end well. I definitely think your blood sugar levels must have been malfunctioning because of the whole weetbix-for-dinner thing. :-)

2011-03-30T21:38:18.670+10:00

Yeah, I'm terrified as well - but at least I have 15 years before I have to go through this nightmare with my twin boys. My hubby loves to drive but has zero tolerance, I just know it's going to be me... apart from the driving instructor. Awe crap.

Funny. I'm following you now ;)

2011-03-30T21:30:02.945+10:00

Love it - I have two boys too but they are 6.5mths & 22.5mths so you just gave me a glimpse into my future - not pretty, but I figure I scared the crap out of my mother and my brother made her cry once (he had his licence then!) I was in the passenger seat laughing, so I probably deserve it!

Check out my blog about my boys when you get the chance although I'm not going to pretend to be as funny as you!

2011-03-30T20:48:18.628+10:00

Oh Annie..this blog is hilarious - and brings back sooo many memories. Like when Ms now 27 drove into our front fence (I was screaming BRAKE too). Or Ms now 24 jumping out of the drivers seat and getting in the back of the car. Me - still screaming.

Hubby has promised he will take Mr 14 when the time comes. I think he likes him :-)

2011-03-30T20:43:22.198+10:00

i'm so tempted to squeeze in a joke about "high beam" but i daren't … 5 years to prepare for my son, and another 4 years after that for my daughter. i don't know which one i'm dreading more — The "I learnt how to drive on my PS2" Stig, or "all knees and elbows and no road sense" Roadkill Bambi. good luck with yours … xt

2011-03-30T20:42:36.439+10:00

Hilarious, but I shouldn't laugh too hard as it's still all ahead of me! Mr almost 17 has been making worrying noises about getting his Ls this holidays...

2011-03-30T16:13:28.668+10:00

My grand daughter has her "L's" now too. She's not doing too badly, but then both grandkids did learn first out on the farm around the paddocks. The grandson, who is younger is a natural driver. Truly, the kid can drive anything.

Ohhh I'm never learning to drive. Ever! lol Y...

2011-03-30T12:52:48.989+10:00

Ohhh I'm never learning to drive. Ever!
lol

Yes...I'm 26 and I can't drive...
but i'm terrified of it!
Especially seeing as my husband wants to teach me.
I wonder if he can spell d.i.v.o.r.c.e ?

Funny post Annie

2011-03-30T12:15:58.031+10:00

That settles it. I am NEVER teaching my kids to drive. They will have to take the bus. And the nightie Annie? If it's the one I'm thinking of, then you made that driver's night!

2011-03-30T11:13:30.606+10:00

Oh Annie, I am dreading this, and now I know why!!
Thinking back to when I learned to drive, my poor, poor father. I was headed for a fence one leisurely Sunday driving lesson and the more he said "BRAKE!" the more I accelerated! Oh dear.
The only thing I can do is wish you luck! xx

Thanks for my morning laugh! Absolutely hysterical...and frightening in equal parts. Thank God that's a long way off for me.

LOL! But I cannot believe YOU got out of the car and he sidled across. Come on, Annie- you enjoyed your moment in the spotlight, didn't you? Headlights, anyway. ;)

2011-03-30T05:53:12.935+10:00

LMAO - oh sorry!
We have 3 more years until we are faced with this challenge - thank god! Miss 13 is going to be tragic, but Miss 11 will be fine, she already drives Dad's car around the yard by herself. I think some have it and some obviously don't. LOL

I think he mutters something like Fuck. Oh Annie,...

Oh Annie, thanks for the giggle.

My son just turned 16. Thank god I've already lost all my hair. Well, most of it. And what's left is a respectable shade of gray. Not looking forward to this.

2011-03-29T22:42:53.910+10:00

Annie, I loved this! Reminded me of the time I sat in a car with my stepdad, with him trying to get me to do a hill start without stalling while a car beeped the horn behind us - ah, memories! Thank god it'll be years before I have to accompany any of my children - I'd better start my 'nerve training' now!
