Today, my driving instructor failed me on my test, because I forgot to turn the air conditioning off after parking. 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, on my first driving lesson, I crashed my instructor's car. I didn't even make it out of the parking lot. 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

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 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 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 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, 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

I feel that there's gotta be a way to fight that. That's total bullshit.

They cant fail you for that. I would know. The only thing they are suppose to be focusing on is your driving. Talk to someone about it there and tell them what happened. Good luck! (:

um yeah...in Ohio where i took mine you could miss 3 points before you fail. my instructor told me what i did wrong so i didnt do it again. they check the lights and horn but the ac has nothing to do with how safe the car is so that sounds like bs

I'm not one to start a fuss over assholes but I think that is illegal and you should be reimbursed and that instructor should be out of a job.

I'm sorry, but there is no way in hell that not turning the a/c off is reason enough to fail you. In any country.

As an IT technician with years of experience in electronics and electrics and as a person who does the electrical wiring by himself for the car, and nearly set my car on fire one day because the shitty wires that the central locking system came with, that were so shitty that they caused current drop and bursted into flames when a short occured, without tripping the fuse, yeah, I can tell you that ANY electrical consumer left turned on after parking can cost you AT LEAST your car. If not worse... this guy did a great job and you definitely deserved it.

You don't understand. But that's ok, I won't even bother explaining, I'm used to this. It seems that more than half of people generally don't understand anything around them, it's quite common. And I wasn't talking about the damn battery.

I think you are the one who doesn't understand. I won't even bother going into your story at all, because that would take WAAAAY too long and is besides the point. So is your story, regardless of what you should do with an A/C, it is nowhere legal to fail a student for leaving the A/C on. This is the only point in this post, which you missed.

Pro-tip: A/C turns off when you turn the car off. In fact, as the car is often very hot sitting in the sun some people would prefer to leave it switched on.
