Today, while on my driving test, the guy told me to pull over and do a U-turn. A few minutes later, he asked me to do another one. After the test, he said I'd failed because the second U-turn was illegal, and I should have refused to comply. I didn't know they're even allowed do that. FML

Today, I took my driving test. I had pulled out of my three point turn in a neighborhood and started driving again, thinking something wasn't quite right. The lady testing me looked over at me and said, "Sweetie, you're driving on the wrong side of the road." FML

Today, I took my driving test. As I was about to turn at a green light, a car sped toward us from the other direction, running a red light. My instructor failed me because I stopped to avoid getting rammed. Apparently I should have kept going, because it was my right of way. FML

Today, I took my driver's test. I did everything flawlessly, but my examiner kept all but pissing his pants throughout. He yelled, "ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US KILLED?!" when I drove past a traffic light just as it was about to turn red. The road was almost empty. He failed me on the spot. FML

Today, I failed my driving test. The examiner insisted I that didn't check a junction before pulling out. I did, he just didn't notice because he was too busy staring at my chest. FML

Today, I took my driving test. I was nervous, but I thought I followed the rules of the road pretty well. My tester ended up failing me for "backing out too slowly". FML

Today, I drove 45 minutes to take my full driver's test. At the end of the test, the instructor told me I'd done everything perfectly, but had failed before I left the parking lot. I didn't see the "one way" sign at the entrance. FML

Today, I was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML

Today, I had my first driving test. The instructor turned out to be the kind of twit who made me do the full 60-minute test, only to tell me afterwards that he was failing me for the only mistake I made less than 2 minutes after the test started. Time wasting tit. FML

Today, my parents finally took me driving after months of me having my permit. I got yelled at for asking questions. I only needed to know which way they wanted me to turn on the next street after they told me to turn, but not which way. FML

Why would he let you take an illegal turn, or even suggest it in the first place? Sounds to me like someone has to reread their job description

Seriously? When you are doing a drivers TEST? Lol, I think you need to reread the definition. You are the one behind the wheel doing the test. He can't make you do anything illegal. I'd rather fail for refusing his order to do something illegal than for doing failing to read road signs and doing something like this. At least in that case I failed for doing the right thing.

They aren't allowed to do that it's illegal you can sue them for that

When I took my test you had to start on one side of the street, drive, then return on the other side of the street. But my instructor had me start and finish on the same side so everyone laughed at me thinking I failed, but I passed. Sometimes they test your temper more then your driving so stay cool like I did.

I was told they can do that. But thankfully the lady that was with me on the drive wasn't such a douche and gave me easy tasks to accomplish like TURN LEFT.

And misogynist morons such as yourself should be taught to keep their sexist ideas to themselves. Both OP and the instructor were men, so where is your comment valid?

in the Netherlands they have a certain maximum to keep to. don't let too many people pass. such as that. after that. they will trap you like this. quite silly if you ask me. But yeah. asshat.

I can tell you from personal experience they do NOT have a maximum quota for passing people in the Netherlands...

They're not allowed to do that because they're not supposed to tell you to do anything illegal and if you refuse to do something that they tell you to do you automatically fail. So either way you would have failed
