Today, while on my driving test, the guy told me to pull over and do a U-turn. A few minutes later, he asked me to do another one. After the test, he said I'd failed because the second U-turn was illegal, and I should have refused to comply. I didn't know they're even allowed do that. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got pulled over during my driving test. 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 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
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 failed my driving test. The examiner insisted I that didn't check a junction before pulling out. I did, he just didn't notice because he was too busy staring at my chest. FML
Today, I was taking my driving test and everything was going perfectly. As I pulled back into the testing center, I smiled because I knew I'd passed. Then I got out of the car without pulling the handbrake. The examiner had to jump back in and hit the brakes before it rolled into an actual parked car. 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 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 was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why would he let you take an illegal turn, or even suggest it in the first place? Sounds to me like someone has to reread their job description

They're definitely allowed to

They do that to see if you are paying attention to the road. Since you did the illegal U turn it showed your instructor you weren't ready.

Reading these comments, all of you are idiots. It's a TEST.

it's illegal for them to ask you to do something illegal. you need to go back and complain and demand a re-take immediately. for free. oh, and that instructors ass fired.

I don't know what state you're in OP, but in California it's illegal for them to trick you or instruct you to do something illegal, in hopes you'll catch it and/or not do it. For me, they told me at the beginning of the test they wouldn't try to trick me or give any false directions. I would do some research and try and get some justice!

They do that to check if you know the rules... It's plain logic. They want to see If you are good enough to look at the signs saying "No U-Turns", and say No.

Yeah they do that to test you out. A friend was taking her test, and he told her to stop the car and she did, which he yelled at her for because you weren't supposed to just stop the car in the middle of the street. Esp when the car behind them could've of hit them. And he failed her for that. When they tell you to do something illegal, don't listen, it's a test.

They aren't allowed to do that, just for future reference.
