Take note, if you are still struggling to figure out what irony is.
…the gag is that this isn’t ironic, right? Like people dropped their /s?
You expect people who are bad at driving to need to attend a driving school, and it is therefore a place where you are more likely to see accidents. This image meets what one would reasonable expect. It is not ironic.
No, the gag is that the poster of the image doesn’t understand what irony is, which is ironic.
I assumed a person crashed into the school while starting a lesson. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the lesson made them worse. This is more that It’s like rai-e-aaaain!
This is a post that reminds me I’m not wearing my reading glasses.
Perhaps that’s the irony?
Needs more jpeg. I could read that it was a driving school that the van crashed by.

If You have problem with understanding what irony is, just think of Alanis’ Morissettes “Ironic”. The lyrics list examples of irony, while none of them actually are ironic, which makes the whole song a great example of irony.

The examples in the song are ironic, she just does not include enough details to clarify it. For example, an old man was afraid to fly so he took the train instead. And an unrelated plane crashed into it, killing him. He died on a plane crash due to avoiding planes. Ironic as fuck.

I don’t think that is how the song went, the guy who was afraid to fly ended up getting on a plane, which crashed just like he was afraid it would.

This is what Weird Al has to say about that song’s iconic line “It’s like rain on your wedding day”:
