I told my Dad to shut up, was I wrong?

Question

Okay so this is what happen.... I was driving on a road I'd never been before and yelled "TURN TURN TURN" And I panicked because on coming traffic so I said "its fine ill turn at the next light stop yelling." So after I said that he starts yelling more on purpose like a kid even though I explained yelling while I'm driving makes lose it he yells and complains more and finally he yells and turns my wheel a little and I got mad. One hes yelling two he moved the wheel!!!! So I said "omg shut up im driving" and he smacked me not hard but still I got more mad and I said "im DRIVING dont hit me whats wrong with you!!!!?!" So am I in the wrong or whats that shut up appropriate?

To be honest,  I don't think what you did was wrong. You were just panicking and frustrated because you  were trying to concentrate and your dad was not helping at all but making it worse!
He shouldn't have turned the wheel at all, what if you lose control and crashed or even worse crashed into someone else.
If your dad is still mad at you just explain that you were just frustrated and had no other way except than telling him to 'shut up' so he will actually listen.

It was appropriate and you aren't in the wrong. Your dad obviously has serious anger issues, but he has no right to yell and hit you while you're driving. What he did was totally uncalled for and he's the one in the wrong, not you

My mom was the same way. Hes just scared that you're driving for the first time.
