I broke my dad’s vehicle, I broke his car, new car. It was two or three months ago my dad bought a new car, he finally did it, replaced his old car with a very beautiful, fast and new car. And of course I didn’t lose this opportunity to learn how to drive. I was 16 years old at the time and of course I didn’t have any driver lessons or I didn’t know how to drive at all. But the idea of driving and bragging in front of my friends were more exciting for me and I didn’t sort of any risks that car can crash or that my dad or any family member will notice that I’m driving illegally. So at first when I tried to go out with his car everything worked out really well. I did it four times with my friends, we were driving around the city having fun and I was really cool at the time. But then at the time I really liked my classmate, a boy, and I offered him an iDrive. I thought that it would be a really nice idea to take him on a so-called date on my dad’s car and I thought that we will even watch a movie. But when I was driving to his home I was already on my way, I was so excited and of course nothing lived up to my expectations. Unfortunately I crashed into the tree and fortunately for me everything was without the traumas and I didn’t have to go to the hospital but car was damaged and my dad was really upset.

I broke my dad's vehicle, I broke his car, a new car. It was two or three months ago when my dad bought a new car; he finally did it, replacing his old car with a very beautiful, fast, and new car. And of course, I didn't lose this opportunity to learn how to drive. I was 16 years old at the time, and of course, I didn't have any driving lessons or know how to drive at all. But the idea of driving and bragging in front of my friends was more exciting for me, and I didn't consider any risks that the car could crash or that my dad or any family member would notice that I was driving illegally. So at first, when I tried to go out with his car, everything worked out really well. I did it four times with my friends; we were driving around the city, having fun, and I felt really cool at the time. But then, at that time, I really liked my classmate, a boy, and I offered him a ride. I thought it would be a really nice idea to take him on a so-called date in my dad's car, and I thought we would even watch a movie. But when I was driving to his home, I was already on my way, I was so excited, and of course, nothing lived up to my expectations. Unfortunately, I crashed into a tree, and fortunately for me, everything was without trauma, and I didn't have to go to the hospital, but the car was damaged, and my dad was really upset.
