Today, I took my 15 year old daughter driving. I yelled at her for not going safely around corners. On the way home, while demonstrating how to drive right, I went around a corner and hit a cement truck. FML

You really shouldn't criticize someone, especially your daughter, when the same thing could potentially happen to you. YDI

Was it her first time? If she doesn't know how to drive, she's not going to know how to go safely around a corner. There was no need to be a dick about it, you should have just explained how to do it. Yelling only ensures that more mistakes will be made because she's under so much pressure.

I'm also 15 years old and when i first went driving with my dad he could not stop yelling at me. so just lay off a bit man. because its hard to drive when someone keeps yelling at you.

YDI for letting a 15 year old drive! A lot of my friends' parents let them do that in a parking lot or something, but my parents are responsible and are keeping me away from the wheel until I get my L. (I wouldn't go behind it, anyway. I don't want to have a record, even if it is only temporary.)

In some states you get your permit at 15 and take your license test when you're 16. Unfortunately, I had to wait until 16 to just get my permit. Four more months until I can even try for my license. :(

How do you expect to get your license without driving? You're just gonna... wing it during the test or something?

I was 12 when I first started to drive and I was pretty good at navigating in a highway (in Mexico).

Lololololol. In a lot of places 15 is the age for permits, not 16. Don't make assumptions.

Total YDI.I'm 15 too, and my dad yells at me sometimes too when were driving! I take criticitsm very personally and I almost cry a lot when I practice, it's stressful or me enough already and screaming isn't gonna help anything. Too bad my dads a great driver so he probably won't be a hypocrite. :/ so be calm when driving with your daughter, yelling will only make things worse.

You're an idiot. When teaching someone to drive, you don't yell at them, especially when you can't do it yourself. Just calmly explain to her how to do it right.

i know it's scary when you're a passenger in a car so you can't control anything and it looks like the driver's about to make a dangerous turn or something. but still, don't be a dick and yell. when i learned to drive, i got my uncle to teach me (he's a certified instructor) and he never raised his voice. it kept me calm and i was comfortable so i learned a lot faster.

Part of learning how to drive is having your dad yell at you over every minor mistake you make. It's how you get better, I know I'd be a shit driver if my dad had coddled me when teaching me right from wrong on the road.

my dad has taught several people how to drive and didn't yell at them.

There's nothing wrong with staying calm
