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.

Ah, shit, I forgot she actually specified "take that flight" in it.

(my comment was supposed to be only a joke, but yeah it doesn't work as I had intended)

Just because he waited his whole life for the flights doesn't mean he didn't chicken out at the last minute and take a train.

Perhaps it's supposed to be ironic that the one time he took the risk was the time it crashed

...the gag is that this isn't ironic, right? Like, people dropped their /s, so shitpost?

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 reasonably expect. It is not 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!

No, the gag is that the poster of the image doesn't understand what irony is, which is ironic.
