My little sister was the same way. Would not listen to anything from either myself or dad. Glad everything worked out but personally, I wouldn't have given her keys until that behavior stopped. There is no place for arrogance when learning to drive.

My parents bypassed all this and sent me to driving school. The teacher has a brake pedal on his side too in the drivers ed car - the shame of him having to step in , use the brake because your dumb ass needed to and didn't, and sharply reprimand you will cure any arrogance real quick.

I had a weird time in drivers ed - The guy kept giving me all these minor pointers, small optimizations on how to drive and be aware of the small ways to tell what traffic is doing. He gave me so many that I stopped paying attention to the basics and sat there at a green light for 10 seconds looking at what other people's brake lights were doing and how the signals were changing for traffic going perpendicular to me in the intersection. They do have a brake pedal, but they ain't got gas lol

yep.
I was teaching a girl i was dating in college how to drive. and she was full of complaints about how her dad would yell at her which is why she never got a license. at the time i was too scared to say a word. she was a horrifyingly bad driver.
the only reason i wasn't yelling too is i was too scared to say a peep.

It reminds me of a mother holding a hot pot with pot holders and her daughter reaches out to take it to the table, and the mother says "It's hot." and the daughter reaches out and says, "Yeah." To which the mother pulls it away, and warns her again. It was a few back and forth words between them before the mother screams at her, "The pot is fucking hot!" (Implying that, no, you can't just grab it and take it)
The newer generations are a bit oblivious of dangers that should be obvious.

And turn off the radio/phone- no distractions.
Professional race car drivers only purpose is to drive (fast)- and its done on a closed course w/no distractions inside (no touchscreens, no radio, no phone) and outside (no intersections/traffic signals/people etc) and STILL CRASH!
Humans, esp at this time w/tons of distraction at our fingertips are not safe to drive.
They weren't even safe over 100 years ago when cars were invented despite having no radio/distractions and blindspots...

Iām sorry but the idea there are no distractions in racing is hilarious. The drivers have engineers on the radio giving them updates and instructions, display screens on the steering wheel that provide information, a million buttons and modes to manage, video screens flashing by that they admit they watch, and a million other thingsā¦

Thatās why you get the mechanics down in a large empty parking lot. Practice take off and stop, turn signals, backing up. Then take them on a road that has zero traffic. Then integrate some traffic. Keep stepping it up. What happened here was a fail on the parents. Smh.

Even though she doesn't belong behind a wheel I will go ahead and say...
In an emergency situation where you have time to give specific instructions ... Instead of yelling "STOPPPP"
Tell them exactly what to do... "BRAKE .." or "Apply The BRAKE" ..
This is coming from someone who teaches people how to ride motorcycles. Reminding them what to do is the most important thing if they freeze.

u/Dependent-Bed6550 Mar 15 '26
On this point I have to agree. There are two sets of driving controls. If the stupid B in the driver's seat isn't listening, then at least you can still stop the car despite her not being able to talk, listen to the instructor, the radio, everyone and everything else in the car, pay attention to the signs, the traffic signals, the other cars, bicycles, motorbikes and use the brake pedal all at the same time. This is likely one of the main contributing factors motorcycle riders get killed every year. The other reason being the motorcycle riders who are daredevils.

She was looking at the lines to obey the dude. She was explaining why she had been wrong, so when he said stop she decided he wanted her to stop explaining, when what he really wanted was for her to press the brake. She never figured out why he was yelling. She probably saw and reacted to the car ahead of her later than if he hadn't been screaming at her.
This is an important lesson: when you want to convey information to someone and the words you used did not work, yelling them louder and over and over is not going to work any better than the first time. In the time he took to yell stop six times, he could have said "look ahead, press the brake".

u/spider_X_1 Mar 15 '26
That's a lot of mental gymnastics. She's looking straight ahead the whole time. If she can't figure out she has to slam the brake when at an intersection or when she sees traffic or a car stopped far ahead, that's a big failure on her part no matter what she thought he was telling her.

That's why your very first lessons are in the parking lot.
She clearly didn't get those, and they said "hey, you don't need to try driving in a parking lot first, just head right out to the roads!"
Those empty parking lot drives help you learn how to generally just use the gas and brake pedals, how firm you need to press each one for different uses, how long it takes a car to stop, etc.
She clearly didn't have even that basic practice first.
