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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Am I the only one who doesn't think the driving teacher is an asshole?

My driving instructor told me the evaluator would do something like that to me. He didn't, but I'm sure other people probably have before. It doesn't seem fair to me either.

Look at the paper and see if he marked it as the reason you failed... If it is then take it to the dmv and am to speak to his supervisor and tell him the story. They're not permitted to tell you trick instructions and he is supposed to tell you that before the test. "follow my instructions, there will be no tricks"

They technically can't do that. They aren't allowed to do anything to trick you or get you to do anything illeagel

A friend of mine was doing his test and the instructor told him to take the first legal left hand turn. My friend didn't see the one way sign and turned down it, so he failed. Maybe there was a sign saying no u-turns?

You need to contact his superiors. Your obviously going to trust him to give you legal instruction and even if you thought to yourself "I don't think that is legal" I would second guess myself because....well he's the driving instructor. Your already so nervous taking your drivers test no one needs this ass pulling shit like this on trusting 16yr old kids. Call the DMV and see if they will help you.

Yeah, because it's a great idea to have a bunch of nervous 16 year old kids who don't trust their own traffic understanding out in the streets.

I'm curious to what country the was. In the UK I don't think you would be asked to do a U turn as you aren't actually taught them, well my instructor never bothered as you aren't really meant to do them apparently

Where I live it's pretty normal that they ask things like this. You should know the rules and be able to know if what he demands is legal or not.

I'd report him. Instructors are supposed to tell you what you SHOULD do, not tell you to do something and figure out if it's legal or not.
