back in the UK my Mum was learning to drive, one day she asked if I would sit in the car with her while she drove around as I had passed my test and she was allowed on the road if I was with her.
So, leaving my car with my Father, we went out in his car, his pride and joy.
We were only out for about 30 minutes when my Mum tried to make a right hand turn and instead of braking she accelerated, thus, hitting a car on one side and then panicking and hitting a church wall!!!
My Mum was frozen to the wheel in shock, I left to phone my father who got into my car and rushed to where we were,
his car was a wreck but instead of being angry, he gently prised my Mums hands from the steering wheel, gave her a hug and said "well love, that solved the problem of having to buy new tires"
My Mum has never driven since but is forever grateful to my Father for so calmly dealing with the situation :)
