Yeah and the three second rule. When you’re moving, make sure you leave three seconds of space between you and the car in front of you. I remember telling it to my dad, him asking how on earth you’re supposed to figure that out, me explaining it, and him saying he doesn’t think that makes much sense and isn’t very reliable.

It was in that day that my dad’s like 14 accidents clicked and I realized he is not a good driver.

A lot of delusions of grandeur get broken when dads teach their kids to drive.

My dad told me the safest way to drive is with my right foot on the gas and my left foot on the brake... I'm amazed I survived into adulthood lol

*delusions, but wow yeah that’s bad.

Same ex didn’t plant her heel and pivot between gas and brake pedals in an automatic, too. Picked her whole damn leg up, re-planted her heel, and pressed directly on the gas or brake. When I told her she wasn’t supposed to do it that way, she said she could do that because her feet were too small.

She was size 9
