According to Jamie, while Annalise is already allowed to "drive the G-Wagon down the driveway," his eldest daughter didn't get behind the wheel for the first time until she was 16.
"She got an Infiniti," Foxx recalled. "She crashed it two weeks later."

"I ran it into a fire hydrant," Corinne chimed in.

While some parents might be mad, the protective dad said all he could do was "hope she was OK."

Looking back at the first time he took his driving test, Jamie remembered, "I was driving my grandmother's LTD. I was trying to [parallel] park, bumped one of the cones… I forgot to turn the lights on, so I flunked at first."

"But I'm good now though," he assured. "I got it."
