Today, I didn't get my driver's license, even though I didn't make any mistakes because my examiner said it was only my first time taking the exam, so it wouldn't matter if I failed. Now I have to pay another €240 for a second exam. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I failed to get my driver's licence. My father was the instructor. 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 passed my driver's test. As I was driving home, I was rear-ended. Rear-ended by the examiner that'd passed me. FML
Today, I failed my driving test before even leaving the DMV parking lot. FML
Today, after finally getting my drivers license, I was able to drive myself to school for the first time! I got fined $50 for accidentally parking in the wrong lot. FML
Today, I failed my driving test. I've been a legal driver in my home country for 8 years, but can't pass the test here. 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 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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have got a copy of the test sheet and then you have proof you made no mistakes and can argue the outcome.

That’s shit. You have a right to your licence if you pass on the first time, no matter what some crackpot of an examiner says.

That would have been a great idea, but this is unfortunately not about the theoretical exam.. it was the practical exam; where you drive around with the examiner in the car and he tells you in the end, if you are able to drive the car good enough to get your license or not.

Usually they have a piece of paper that they use to grade your practical exam, it's not a pass/fail exam. Call them and ask to see it.

When I failed my 1st practical driving test (just passed 2nd time last month.) I was given the test sheet by the practical examiner to improve on my failed areas.

Yes same for me

Congratulations with passing the 2nd time. I actually didn't get a piece of paper with what I did wrong or something like that. Maybe that differs per country..

My instructor said that those who take the test more than once are safer drivers, but I still was still advanced on the first go. Definitely try to fight the outcome, OP.

My drivers ed teacher had a policy- out of every batch of three students, only one would pass. His reasoning was "there's no way 100% of high school students are safe driver so there's no way 100% will pass my course." He would have failed us all if he could get away with it.

go back with a parent or a cop and tell them they are giving you your license they basically robbed you

Tell him if he lets you pass you won't call the cops on him for trying to molest you.

They don't have to fill out a form listing in what areas you failed? Where on earth do you live that this is possible?
