Today, I took my road test. I'd never had driver's training and my mom taught me how to drive. I failed the test so badly, and when I got home my mom admitted to having taught me how to drive completely wrong because she didn't want me to get my license as she thinks I'm too young. I'm 18. 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

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. 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 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

Licence to drive

Today, after failing my learner's licence twice in the previous weeks, I finally passed. As I got home, I went for a drive with my dad. I smashed my mum's car into an old lady's fence and ended up in her backyard. 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 took my driver's test. The woman administering it wouldn't even look at me, so trying to be friendly I said the first thing I could think of, "It must be scary getting in the car with someone you don't know!" She failed me for "excessive chatting." 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

Yeah I'm gonna have to give you a YDI as well, you should have been studying yourself as well, the DMV has a handbook for free, and there's the internet. If you couldn't figure out that your mom was teaching you wrong, then you deserved to fail.

You know, reading the comments on FMLs are so much more funny than the actual FML.

i'd actually call this half FML and half YDI (or all bullshit). you should have had to read "rules of the road" before even getting a PERMIT to learn how to drive. and then there's that written test to get your permit. so if your mother taught you all of that wrong shit, you should never have been behind the wheel...EVER. so tell me, OP, what's the truth? is your mom absolutely crazy, are you making this up, or did you never pay attention when learning this stuff?

Ok, so in the months or so in which your mother should have been teaching you, she probably gave you the wheel to attempt some basic driving, how did you manage to get away with that without either crashing the car or severely annoying any of the other drivers on the road? Unless, of course, your mother really didn't allow you to control the car in that time, which I think is bad teaching technique anyway. I'm also sure in the 18 years you've been alive you have been in a car for a good portion of time. You must have noticed some differences in the way that car was being driven and the way you were being taught. Then again, I haven't had any driving lessons so there may be something I'm completely missing out on.
