Good dad
TheMightyMoto
Oh wow.
oscillatingdogfan
It was such a gentle roll. Like the car just decided it needed a little nap.
GodsWorkSon
It is the slepy time, it is the time for slep.
3rdoption
What a horrible combination of random circumstances.
bloxxing
why my father taught me he did it with one hand resting on the handbrake, just for situations such as this.
ramram70
I just got a permit to teach my son to drive. Thank god in my country it's mandatory to install a brake pedal for the teacher.
icmojo
That takes all the adventure out of it!
That'll buff right out, I'm sure
eastend666
How much time did they clock in an empty parking lot before getting to this point?
maxximii
not enough apparently.
bbrown1012
Oh shit. Starting to teach 15 yo to drive. I’m scared. We’re studying book now,. She will not ask questions when I drive!
zalurker
Don't remind me. My daughter is starting driving lessons.
bobon123
A friend of mine the month after getting the car license did this three times: closing too much the curve, hitting the wall (no rollover)
ZombeyHepburn
You start in an empty parking lot.
friendsofsandwiches
So did he just panic after hitting the wahole, or did it actually screw up the driving mechanisms?
Krakencrotch
Maybe the pothole bounced his feet off the pedals and he just couldn't find the brake in time.
charondaboatman
Hit the hole, caused him to veer right and climb the wall, rolled the car.
Kaleopolitus
No instinct to immediately steer back down the road is what did it. Emergency situation with a lack of experience.
MattOEP
My guess is the light caused him not be able to see the wall in the shadow till the lighting changed
Maybe both?
Rezol
If that could disable both steering and brakes, as well as cause the accelerator to stick, that model shouldn't have left the drawing board.
Maybe it's a FCA product.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
Hey man, that's completely out of line. They're called Stellantis now.
SexyAttackHelicopter
Looks like sn over corrected after punching that pothole. Wheel probably also jerked. Something that would be new to the driver.
anengineerandacat
Little bit of a panic from the looks of it leading to a loss of control of the vehicle combined with a well placed wall and wheel.
Ocek
My assumption is he overcorrected to avoid the pothole (tried not to go into the oncoming lane) assume he had shoulder room and noticed late
YouWonTheGam3
I think the son was focused on the hole and the road ahead. The eye also tends to draw towards light sources, such as the one ahead.
Maybe overcorrected and was distracted by not having the experience to filter what to notice when driving.
CPTNNemo
I think so as well. Too focused on the hole and trying to avoid it, noticed the wall too late.
METROlD
Holes. Holes are always the problem.
Scar1203
Shit, my car would have gotten stuck just from the pothole. That thing is huge.
PhilKenSebban
In Australia the reaction woulda been "Oh for fucks sake cunt!... are you okay mate?"
Wolfschwarzmond
Dad handled that really well.
PenisFacts
Mine would have verbally abused me for about 2/3 weeks, he once chased me around a field trying to hit me but was too slow, he then..
.. complimented me on how fast I ran and suggested I use that technique when playing sports. Thanks paps!
JamesBondsUglyCousin
My dad would have been choking me like Homer Simpson does to Bart. ?
FatboyRich
In all defense, it’s hard to turn while holding a beer between your legs and rolling a joint at the same time-for beginners. Takes practice
Maigou
My first time I jumped the clutch ran over a utility box swiped the garage and was stopped by the front porch
penzick
Really good dad-ing going on there. Stayed calm & asked about the kid rather than react to the smashed up car. +1 for dad.
DoYouLikePinaColada
They see him rolin', they didn't hatin'
PhenTsoksar
"So.... what did you learn?" -dad.
PutItInNeutral
Maybe better to start the kids off driving in a big empty parking so they can get the hang of the controls.
BatsArentBugs
When I’m Dadding I let my reaction be genuine, swear a bit in a roll-over you know? Then quickly move to controlled and rational handling.
zackfair808
This is a core memory moment and his dad knows it.
SchmidtOnYoLip
Putitinyomama
You alright, son? K let’s head on home then
ManWithJob
Lmao. Wrecked.
You. Me. Jumper cables. Now.
Hornedequine
"Yup, that was a good one. Ope."
GalacticOverlord
Ohio?
freezingpilot
Sue the city for the damage due to pothole avoidance.
eatadickimtinyrick
Convinced this happened in the upper Midwest
hersheytwitch
Agreed. Don't think Michigan as he pronounced all the letters in "Fucking" well, my moneys on Minnesota.
Holydemon49
He mentioned going behind a Kroger though, and those aren't in Minnesota. I'm guessing Illinois or Indiana
Malcondrion
My brother in law worked for Kroger in MN. They’ve been there for years.
Well, the only place I can find in state called Kroger is an insurance company. And a place called Central Market.
Why didn't dad press his brake pedal?
ProChoiceBaby
That kid should never drive again.
Mehlbox
Classic Sammy.
HCBailly
afstephanie31415
Distracted the kid by pointing out the hole once the turn was already started
azazyel
My dad taught me how to drive in a graveyard.
4vie
... Was he proactive so in case something happened, neither of you had far to fly/slide?
roguishdrummer
I learned on trips to the dump when my parents were renovating their house. 5yo+ sitting on dad's lap and steering.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
When we go to National parks/monuments on dirt roads that are super far away from everyone else, I'll let my kids sit on my lap on "drive."
bubbinsky
Same! I turned too sharply and ended on top of a tombstone.
sandrad12
Same!
eddbrowne
My school driver-ed: 10 classes lecture-book-films & 5 on simulator & 5 on road with instructor controls. Showed films of horrific carnage.
SweetBabyJesus
I drove around a trailer park.
Why would anyone need a skill to drive in a graveyard?
dasklaus
I've never seen a graveyard cars were allowed in.
nero4ty2
Most of the cemeteries around me are at least 20 acres, plenty of nice quiet roads to learn on
How do you get to the grave? In Seattle there are some pretty big ones.
DasWauto
Was it a graveyard before you started?
Very nice. +1

This is why you start in the middle of a huge empty parking lot or a field.
erbiumyttriumytterbium
Best not to teach your kids to drive, ski, scuba dive, etc. You tend to react emotionally, which doesn't help.
Also takes more training and practice than you might think. Pro ski and scuba instructors have to go through long training and testing.
My friend was a scuba instructor in 2005, for him it was only based on hours and type of dive, then just apply for it like a boaters license
covideokilledtheradiostar
Most people are emotional when the vehicle they are in is flipping over.
moltenmanatee
I get what you’re saying but my son needs 50 hours behind the wheel in addition to the 6 hrs w/ pro driving co.
