"I crashed my car while I was learning, too, it all turned out alright" to a kid who had just had a collision outside my house with a parked car (not mine). He seemed to be taking it pretty hard. I was in a collision while I was learning to drive, but the lie was that I was at fault, when in fact I had been rear-ended by a distracted driver. Also, my car was written off, so "turned out alright" is subjective. I'm an open car-hater, and frequent attendee of the fuckcars communities here on Lemmy, but I'm not so proud as to not put that on-hold for a teen going through Baby's First Car Accident.
