OMFG..
This is not only setting up your daughter's murder and your own suicide.. Everyone else on the road gets to be put in danger too!!! Great Idea!!
Also "real-life" situations usually arent set up genius, and if your mom tells you to turn the wrong way on a one way.. ?? That has nothing to do with her driving.. Any saine person would think, Oh it must be safe if mom said so.
You are mean. Its like you dont trust her, and if she is JUST learning.. give her a break and grow up.
By the way, If she does wreck.. I hope its YOUR side of the car.. and I hope YOU get to pay for all of the damages. |

NO, don't scream something out of nowhere when she's driving. You don't know how much that freaks me out, that's not a good idea. |

A new driver is already terrified at simple things like merging on the freeway or going through a somewhat weird intersection. Scaring her is just at best going to make her terrified of driving (or at least of being around you), and at worst going to cause a real accident.
Your brother comes at her like he's running a stop sign - this can cause an accident for sure. Yelling "LOOK OUT" - she might slam on the brakes or swerve, either of which can cause an accident. Telling her to turn onto a one way street - another bad idea.
The best way to prepare for real world situations is to drive normally. Have her drive as much as possible. Try not to distract her, so she can concentrate on driving. |

Wait till she gets comfortable before you start "testing" her. Real world driving is stressful enough for a new driver. |

No. Explanations and cautions should be enough. You might make her too nervous and she won't be able to learn or she could have an accident. Just teach her like you would teach anything else. The way some drivers drive today she might get some real practice she didn't ask for, I hope not but best of luck. |

I'm 17 and I've had my permit for a while now. If you were to do that to me, I'd feel extremely uncomfortable driving with you. Considering that she is a new driver, she is self conscious and doesn't know everything yet which is okay. When I drive with my dad, he gets extremely stressed out and yells at me to "watch out!" or that I turned the wrong way, etc. and since I feel my driving has gotten exponentially WORSE everytime I drive with him because I am so upset and anxious.
However, when I drive with my mom, she is very relaxed and gives me direction/constructive criticism now and then without attacking me or stressing me out. I find I always improve when I am with her and have learned to grow observant on my own.
If you were to do something as rash as almost try to get her into an "accident" she might have more of a leniency towards driving and could create an opposite effect...
at least that's what it would do to me, but of course I don't know your niece, so do what you think is best without scaring her.
Happy driving! :) |

This is one of the funniest questions I have ever come across.
It could even be turned into a TV sit-com.
For instance, did you turn your niece's crib upside down as you rocked her when she was a baby, just in case she was involved in an earthquake?
Did you set her house on fire, so she could practice her escape skills.
Did you knock her off her bike? Just in case she fell off it anyway.
What about all jumping on her, just in case a herd of elephants should one day come charging by.
For goodness sake get your brain out of overdrive before you turn the poor girl into a nervous wreck. |

Not a good idea! It will make her nervous to even get out on the road! My mom was hit head on by a Drunk Driver and now my sister who at the time was 16 still does not drive at 18 almost 19! My father has to drive her EVERYWHERE! You guys do not want that do you!?
(Trust me it is a royal pain in the BUTT!)
You do not learn over night about all of the numerous things that could go wrong. But, when I was in drivers ed. I had this one teacher that would have us go through drive through and we would eat while we were driving...that might help! |

i think u have the right idea with trying to make her a better driver.
but think about the choices for what to test her with.
maybe something non-illegal?
lol good luck. hope she turns out to be a good driver . :) |

Doing something like that to an inexperienced driver could be dangerous because you don't know how she will react. Most driver's Ed. courses teach defensive driving which includes how to react in different situations. Don't scare her, she might lose confidence & not want to drive at all. |

NO. that is a horrible idea. she might total the car if you do this. if you want to do this wait until she gets her license. cuz by then she should know wat to do, if u do it before she would know wat to do something could go horribly wrong |

No! If she keeps distance from other cars when driving and watches carefully everytime she turns and enters an intersection etc she will be prepared for dangers. Then again, no one can really be prepared for the unexpected. You will probably just discourage her because she's going to be nervous and upset the next time she gets in the car. |

no way why take a chace of wrecking your own car really not smart.. real-life situations wil get soon enough shouldnt fool a round any |

No, what if she doesn't react quickly enough and your car gets wrecked or something? As a new driver just let her learn how to drive the car first and get comfortable with it before you start throwing things at her.
Personal Story: When I was learning how to drive, we were pulling into the driveway..my mom (being her normal anxious self) didn't think I was going to stop, even though I was and screamed STOOOOP!..it freaked me out so bad I slammed on the gas and went through the garage door. |

Well, i think she is better of without the added pressure the real world is quite dangerous enough, and something may go very wrong |

No, because she needs to learn what to do in dangerous situation from you first. Then after you tell her what to do then test her with some situations. When i was learning, my mother purposely let me make mistakes to learn from them before i started driving on my own. So i like your logic and agree that is a good idea. |

It doesn't sound like a good idea. Don't say LOOK OUT for no reason. That's make any new driver nervous and could cause an accident right there. As far as your brother driving around and pretending to run a stop sign could cause an accident too. Wait until she has some experience driving first before trying to pull something like that.
And don't tell her to turn to go the wrong way on a one-way street. |

I kinda like the idea of fake road hazards, but it could backfire - like your brother might really hit her by accident. Yelling "look out" when there is no hazard is not a good idea, it'd just distract her with unnecessary anxiety. The idea while driving is to be relaxed alert and on the defensive. When you're first learning to drive you tend to be on pretty high alert anyway. It's only when you develop habits that you become complacent and lose your defensiveness.
I like the idea of ambiguous or incorrect direction to keep her on her toes and force her to think actively ahead, though. |

Sure then when YOU cause her to GET IN AN ACCIDENT you can pay for it. Also make sure when you report it to the Insurance company you tell them what you were pulling. Oh and pray to God that you don't get someone else involved in the accident. In other words DON'T DO IT. |

That's why they offer defencive driving courses. To keep people like you from putting the rest of us at risk by scaring the crap out of an inexperienced driver.
What if you did as you suggest and she panicked and drove up onto the sidewalk? |

If it's her first time driving I wouldn't do this yet. If she has been driving awhile, then maybe I would. Don't wanna scare her away from driving. |
