Cars and Miscellaneous: Today, I went to take my driver's test, and I did almost everything...

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, 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. 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 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 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

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

Today, I took my driver's test, whereby I forgot everything, panicked, and closed my eyes while yelling, "Jesus take the wheel!" 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 hit a parked car. It happened to be my driving instructor's car. While he was instructing me, sitting in the passenger seat. I don't think I'll pass. 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 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

I'm sure he couldn't hold it against you! After all, beating your passengers doesn't make you a bad driver...

Everyone's telling OP to say sorry. But isn't it a little late for sorry. I'm sure OP did.

Why did you not just use your 3 mirrors? That's what they're there for. I'd fail you. Sorry. Not for the smack though. That's just bad luck.

It's probably required in the test to look over your shoulder, and it's common sense. Never trust mirrors.

I'd say it makes more sense to rotate your head a couple degrees either way and use your mirrors. Than to strain yourself needlessly and not being able to keep an eye on what the front of the car might be getting a little close to. And as you're approaching the space you're going to be backing into take a look and estimate how much space you have to work with, and if you can't judge how close an object is using your driver side mirror then you suck

No, what's common sense in a drivers test is to use your mirrors and keep two hands on your wheel. If you weren't supposed to trust your mirrors, they wouldn't put them in or on your car.
