Should I drive or let my dad do that?
Unpack that phrase, “since he rarely drives.” Why is he rarely driving? Has he been evaluated by a doctor? Has he had his eyes tested? Is is memory solid?I suspect there may be some underlying medical reasons that he is not driving as much, and if so, those reasons will not be altered at all by driving more. He could wreck, or kill someone, and that would be tragic, if it could have been prevented by new eyeglasses.Figure out why he is not driving, and let that inform your next decisions about how to provide transportation for your family.
My mom freaks out when I drive.?
Whenever I drive my mom has panic attacks. I cant drive with my dad often bc he works all the time, and I understand that, but my mom doesn't work, which is why i try to drive with her. While I am driving she will scream that I am going to crash and kill everyone in the car, and one time in the middle of a turn screamed STOP, so i stopped; but there was no reason to stop, and when i asked her why she told me to stop she replied "i was yelling at the other car". But there was no other car within 500 yards. I am not a bad driver, and the few times i drive with my dad (about once a month) he says I drive great. My mom refuses to let anyone else besides her and my dad drive me, and also refuses to let me have more then the 3 mandatory lessons (which I have had). I can get my licence in less then a month but wont be ready since I dont get to drive. Normally I have to pull over because my mom always makes me stop short thinking I will crash, even though nothing is there. What should I do?
My dad yells at me a lot when I practice driving with him, what should I do?
It isn't uncommon at all for a parent to yell when they are in the car with their inexperienced teenage driver. Most of the time it is out of stress or fear. Your dad knows from experience that even the smallest mistake can cause an accident. You have several options you might want to try. You can try talking to your dad some time when you aren't driving. Tell him that it makes you really nervous when he yells. Ask him if he can try to point out your mistakes in a calm manner. Just remember that even if he agrees, he may still yell at times just out of reflex. You may want to ask your mom or another adult family member to help you with your driving practice. Your best option is probably to enroll in a driver's education course. Not only will you get professional help learning how to drive, it will be less stressful on you and your dad. In addition almost all insurance companies have a discount on your car insurance if you took a driver's education course.

So i'm 16 and I got invited to prom by this guy from my track team. He is 17 and hes a good guy (no drugs drinking good grades etc) but my dad doesn't want him to drive me to prom (my mom is fine w/ it). hes had his license for over a year and has his own car! so my dad wants his older sister or one of his parents to drive us.and he said if no one can then he will. and he wants to call the person and thank them for driving me! i think its really annoying and it would be so much easier if my date just drove us. parents whats your opinion? and i was thinking about lying and just telling him someone else was driving us but i really dont want to lie to my dad. can i PLEASE get some opinions/advice?
How do I drive my dad's girlfriend crazy?
Maybe your parents where not ment to be but if you say she was the reason for their seperation then here's what you do, 1-when she cooks put chili or hot peper anything bad in her food with out her knowing make sure its done when she finishes it so she doesnt taste the food and discover its bad 2- break your stuff and throw them around in your bedroom, when her kids are around, them scream and make sure your dads see's whats broken. do it a couple of times then do it to his stuff then he would automatically think its her kids! 3- always be sweet to her and kids infront of your dad so when she complains about you he'd think she's lieing. 4- put some of your dads private stuff in her handbag, then bumb her bag, let it fall and when the stuff falls out (make sure your dad see's it but not when she's there) he'll run to pick it up and then he'll wonder why his things are in her bag. 5- ripp your moms pictures then ask your dad why is she so mean althought you try very hard for his sake to make things work. Good luck PS for the handbag trick, put a "thank you for last night card" sign it by a Micheal with XXX and get the bag to drop infront of your dad. But you have to make sure he does not know you did this on purpose.
Can I drive my parents car under their insurance?
Yep, you can drive under your dad's insurance and it's totally legal. As long as you've got the owner's permission, your butt isn't breaking any laws. Everyone knows the "gotta have insurance" rule, but very very few people actually know how it works. No kidding, this stuff confuses the living hell out of people. I've got 15 years of experience doing insurance for a living, and even I get confused by it sometimes and have to look up the answers. But back to your question, and here's what you need to know... As a driver, you only need certain things to be legal to drive someone's car. You need a valid licence, the owner's permission to drive, and the vehicle itself needs to have valid plates / registration and insurance. If you've got all of that, you're good to go and totally legal. If you don't have all of them, you're in serious trouble. So make sure you have permission, and make sure all the required paperwork is with you. The owner, however, has a few more obligations to deal with. That's because the owner (not the driver) is legally responsible for their vehicle and any damage it causes, even if the damage happens while they're not driving. That's why in California (and every other state and province) the owner puts insurance on the vehicle. Insurance is there to cover the owner's costs if an accident happens. If your dad lets you drive his truck and you crash it, the damage is legally his problem and not yours. And if his insurance company refuses to cover the damage because he didn't provide them with complete information (which they can do), that's also entirely his problem. He's the one who decided to let you drive the vehicle, and he's the one who agreed to let them know about any drivers in the house when he signed the contract, so he will have to explain to the insurance company why he didn't complete his side of the agreement. But here's the good news, for you at least: None of that is on you. All you need is a valid licence and the owner's permission, and you have that, so your butt is off the hook. Dad might have to pay for the entire accident himself, but that's his decision and his problem if it happens.
Is it awkward if parent drive you on a date?
That's not awkward at all. My boyfriend and I can't drive yet, so if we go out instead of just bumming at one of his houses, his parents drive one way and mine the other.
Can I drive my dad's car without insurance?
Almost a year ago, I got my G2, and I haven't been given the opportunity to drive much. Only simple things like moving cars around the driveway is an occasional opportunity given to me. When my friends and relatives ask me if I have my license, I tell them I do. Then they ask, "so you drive now"? And of course the typical response they were expecting is I do drive. But I don't. Everyone that I know is around my age or a young driver, tell me that they got their license so their parents just encourages them drive. And it frustrates me because I feel like my parents dont care about me driving or getting my license. Well my dad doesn't care, he says I dont need one. In the meantime, my mom isn't against it, but she doesn't push me. But everyone else, friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, all would encourage me. My dad's concern is I'm not insured on his car even though I'm a G2 license holder. My cousin says I don't need to be insured as long as the car is insured, and that they're trying to prevent me from driving.. My dad told me a story of his worker's daughter who wasn't insured on their dad's car, they crashed it and they were sued. Can someone explain how insurance works?
I’m 16 and I hate driving. I don’t want to drive, I’m not good at it, and it constantly stresses me out, makes me unhappy. My dad insists on me getting my license. I have been trying to drive, but it isn’t going well. What should I do?
If your father is the one who’s trying to teach you to drive, that could be a big part of the problem. The natural tensions that arise between parents and teenagers often come to a head when driving lessons are attempted. I was a professional driving instructor at one point in my career, but my daughter and I quickly realized that me trying to teach her was not working; she took driver’s ed at school, and I supplemented that by getting her some lessons from a driving school, and things worked out. Learning to drive is stressful in and of itself; you’re naturally nervous — everyone is. Add to that the stress of having your very nervous father as your instructor, and it can a recipe for failure. Try this. Say, “Dad, I love you, but I get super nervous when you teach me because I’m worried that I’ll let you down, or damage your car. Maybe I should take driver’s ed at school, or save up for driving school lessons. Then we’ll both be more relaxed.” If, after that, you find that you hate driving, then ask your dad to please let you wait a few years, until you’re feeling more self-confident. When you have a reason to really want to drive, perhaps you’ll do better. If not, well, don’t fret about it. Lots of people never drive, and they do just fine. I do realize that driver’s ed and lessons are not always an option. Many schools don’t offer it, and lessons are not cheap. If that’s your situation, you could try to negotiate to have another trusted adult — an aunt or uncle, a family friend — become your instructor. I wish you the best.
