Kourtney Kardashian recalls first car accidents and bizarre driving stories on The Kardashians
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Reality television star Kourtney Kardashian, 47, revisited some memorable — and eyebrow-raising — driving moments from her past during a recent episode of The Kardashians Season 8. The conversation was sparked when she and her husband, musician Travis Barker, accompanied his son Landon Barker to the DMV for his second attempt at obtaining a driver's licence.
Landon's Driving Test and Kourtney's First Car
Landon's DMV visit was his second try, having fallen short in the show's previous episode. As the family waited, Kourtney reflected on her own early driving days, revealing that her first car was a black BMW. The recollection prompted Travis to quip, 'Is that the one you peed in?' — to which she was quick to clarify: 'Nope. That was a different, white one. The black one I wouldn't have done that to.'
Two Accidents, One Totalled Car
The black BMW had its own share of drama. Kourtney shared that she was involved in two car accidents in that first vehicle, both of which were her fault, and that she ultimately 'totaled it'. Despite this rocky start on the road, she now describes herself as 'a badass driver' — a claim that her family appears to find equal parts amusing and debatable.
The Infamous Freeway Incident
The story of the white car resurfaced in a confessional segment, with her sister Kim Kardashian weighing in on Kourtney's unconventional driving habits. 'She doesn't give a f***. She'll just have to pee and pee while driving, just sitting there,' Kim said. She then called Kourtney directly to confirm the account. When asked, Kourtney did not hold back: 'Yeah. I had seven iced teas at lunch, and then I was on the freeway, and I just could not get off the freeway to go to the bathroom. So I just peed right on the seat.'
The Destination: Smooch Boutique
According to Kourtney, the incident ended with a quick pit stop for damage control. 'I got to the back of our store, to Smooch, 'cause it was time for my shift,' she explained, referring to the children's clothing boutique she co-owned with her mother Kris Jenner for several years in the early 2000s. 'I went inside, I cleaned myself,' she added. The casual candour of the retelling drew reactions both on-screen and online.
A Peek Behind the Kardashian Curtain
The exchange is characteristic of The Kardashians' approach to family storytelling — blending mundane milestones like a teenager's driving test with unfiltered personal anecdotes. Season 8 continues to lean into these candid, off-script moments that have kept the franchise running for nearly two decades. As Landon takes his next step toward independence, it is the older generation's driving tales that are stealing the episode's spotlight.
