This is barely an exaggeration from experience

My sweet mother still gasps dramatically and presses the invisible brake when I'm driving. I've been driving for 20 years.

My mom took me out driving in our suburban neighborhood one time, and yelled "TRASH CAN" every time there was a trash can by the curb. I still do not know what she wanted me to do with that information.

This is why I have never taught one of our kids to drive. I am way too high strung. I get stressed in the passenger seat while my husband drives.

Professional driving instructors ftw.

I’m glad everyone in the comments understand that these are jokes, and there’s not several idiots explaining to nobody that parents are stressed for many possible legitimate reasons, and sometimes overreact based on that.

It’s even worse in a manual.

Lmao same, my father would literally keeps grabbing the wheel and yelling at me, was a nightmare. My driving instructor was just like this though lol

It would be the same if the driving instructor had to pay for the car, insurance, gas and know if they act like a parent it could mean their job.

Parents have nothing to lose except the car, insurance rates, and gas…oh and of course their kid

I remembered my driver instructor was $80/hour and minimum 2 hours. Meanwhile parents are free

*I got an instructor at 27, because i don’t have parents here in US or a car when I migrated here

Wow. They nailed this bit. My stepdad almost perfectly represented there.

I remember making a left turn and he grabs the wheel and turns the car for me saying I was about to hit a bus. Bus was in the next lane stopped and I was turning fine into my own lane.

I ended up asking my buddy who was a few years older to teach me and it was a much more chill experience. Dude even taught me how to drive manual with his dad’s S10.
