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 failed my driving test before even leaving the DMV parking lot. 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 passed my driver's test. My instructor took the learner signs off his car and let me drive back to my place. I guess he didn't bet on me crashing the car just a few blocks from the test center. FML

Today, I went to take my driver's test, and I did almost everything perfectly. The last thing was to back into a driveway. As I went to put my hand on the passenger seat to look over my shoulder, I got so nervous that I hit my instructor in the face. 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. I rammed into the parallel parking poles, ran a stop sign, and stopped at a cross intersection. My instructor called me an idiot. 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

One tiny mistake

By Anonymous - 02/06/2022 03:00 - United Kingdom - Coventry

Today, I failed my driving test. Zero minor errors, one major fault. The fault was me thinking the road was one-way, positioned my car on the right lane to turn right, only to find out I was in the lane of oncoming traffic. 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

Failed

Today, I took my driving test. Completing the test, we returned and parked at the testing facility. As my tester was complimenting me, I leaned down to wind my window up, catching my long hair in the window. Frantically thrashing, I put the car in drive and floored it into a concrete wall. FML

When I did mine for the first time, the brakes failed on the driving school car and I was held accountable for it, thus failing the test.

It says 'full driver's test'. OP has a learner's permit or something along those lines.

That's BS. They can't fail you from one mistake, it takes several, unless it is directly goign to harm someone, to fail you. Not to mention they are suppost to end the test IMEDIATLY following what they say will fail you. Sound slike you just got a bitch for an instructor. FYL

Actually, they can fail you for one error if it's a critical error. Missing a one-way sign would be one...

My brother failed his drivers test for speeding and my other brother failed because the computers froze.

One-way signs are important. I've seen too many idiots go the wrong way on one and it ends in disaster and chaos (because they are usually too stupid to then rectify the situation, and instead usually stand there screaming at everybody else). So yeah, not seeing a one-way sign is pretty damn important.

I registered a massive pang of empathy when I read this. I too failed a driving test at the DMV on Market street in Greensboro - for missing that ******* one way sign. F OUR LIVES
