People Share Idiotic Fails That Seemed Like Good Ideas At The Time

Learning How To Drive

There’s a reason driver’s ed exists. The teacher, sitting in the passenger seat, has their own personal brake, which prevents kids from crashing the car. It’s nerve-wracking to teach a new driver how to drive your own car, especially because you don’t have any control over where they’re going, unlike the driver’s ed cars.

This internet user shared one of their good ideas when they allowed their 14-year-old cousin to drive the family car. He told the youngster it was easy, similar to driving a go-kart. Unfortunately, this isn’t true at all. After shifting the gear to D, the car started moving, and before they knew it, they hit a tree. Even though they weren’t seriously hurt, it still ended up being a major fail (via The Brainy Penny).
