Today, I took my driving test for the first time. The instructor stopped it after less than ten minutes, and insisted she drive back to the test centre "in the interest of public safety." 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, 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 took my driving test. It was all going well until out of habit from driving with my boyfriend, I reached over and held my instructor's hand. 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 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 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

Is this part of the test?

Today, while I was taking my driver's test, my instructor received a text message. He promptly had a panic attack and screamed for me to pull over. It turned out his wife wanted a divorce. The last 15 minutes of my test consisted of him sobbing to himself as I drove back to the DMV. 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

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

As this is about driving; do American roads really not have roundabouts? Or is that just another stupid thing people say that isn't true?

We don't have very many roundabouts here in California Cinn. They're all over the place from what I've seen when I have been to England.

Yep, they are everywhere. Which is fine when they're actually proper sized roundabouts, but then someone invented this thing called a mini-roundabout. Those things are just annoying, it's essentially a crossroads/T-junctions with different rules about giving way to other traffic, some of which you can't even drive around, you have to drive over. I think they're supposed to help allow traffic that joins busy roads get a chance to get out, but more often than not they seem to cause deadlocks as everyone waits for the person on their left to go. Or maybe that's just round where I live.

That's because technically, there is no proper way. Only someones opinion on how others should drive. The closest to proper would be not acting like a ******* dick on the road.

It's more with apple products from what I've been hearing. I have the Nexus One and have no problems with comments with it. At least the one and only one comment I ever made with it. Apple's been having problems with their phone with the FML app for some reason.
