Today, I completed driving school. After 30 hours of classwork, 6 hours of driving lessons, and a very tough driving test, I passed and can now get a 15% safe driver insurance discount. My friend just told me he only had to watch a 15 minute video to get the same discount. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I just finished a driving school that I thought would lower my insurance by 10%. It was 30 hours so I was glad it was over, that was until I found out I took the wrong class. 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 spent 30 minutes with the handbrake on. FML
Today, I took my driving test for the first time. The instructor stopped it after less than ten minutes, and insisted she drive back to the test centre "in the interest of public safety." 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, 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 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, 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 booked a driver's ed course to avoid 3 points on my driving licence for doing 40 in 30 zone. That day, my wife kept quarrelling in the car, I got angry at her for a second, apparently also stepping on the gas. A triumphant copper with a speed gun was right there. I haven't had a speeding ticket in 25 years. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

When I took driving school, it made it so I never have to take a driving test again only the written. That is worth it to me.

Look at the bright side: in the end, you'll be a better driver

But I bet you're more knowledgable of the rules of the road! ;)

I'd much rather meet up with you on the road than your friend.

I also remember watching the video. But that was awhile ago. Interesting fact- back then in my state you could get your learner's permit at 14 and full license at 15. They changed the law just after I got my license but I was happy I got in under the wire.

You have a better grounding in safe driving than your friend. His 15% won't last long if he has an accident. Neither will yours, but you're less likely to have an accident.

At least you're more prepared than your friend, the more experience the better :) Taking the easy way out backfires a lot of the time.

You might not need all that for the discount, but surely you needed it to get your licence.

Not in Missouri. Or at least not about 2003 when I got my license. At 15, you took a 30-question test. If you got at least 80%, you were issued a permit. You had to have your parents sign a log saying you had driven 30 hours and turn it in when you went for the license. No driving class of any kind was required. I've never taken one.
