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 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 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 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, as I was taking the driver's test to get my license, I backed into a car. It belonged to the instructor sitting in my passenger seat. 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 was nervous as hell for my driving test. The instructor told me to drive a straight line in reverse. I forgot to put the car in reverse from drive and drove straight into a parked vehicle. Which happened to be owned by the instructor. 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

Who's fault is that?

Today, I failed my driving test. Why? Before I even began driving, someone hit my car while it was still parked. FML

Today, after my driving instructor told me I should pass without any worries at all, I completely failed. I was hit by another car. While parked. FML

And this is when you report him and say "you failed, at keeping a job"

The instructor / tester is obviously some sort of idiot.

Same thing happened to me doing my drivers test. There was a green arrow to turn when I was going to turn I stopped right away a car blew the red light and would have hit me. The instructor didnt fail me but he took off points and scolded me and non sense.

This is when you smile at the instructor and inform him that he's walking back to the test center.

Your safety always trumps the "right of way....to driving in front of a speeding car."

Better luck next time OP - I finally got my license on my 6th driving test, and even then they said they should have failed me!

Did you take it at the D/BMV? I know at my driving school they will let you take the test there, and it is the same course they take on all of the drive times.
