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

Same thing different taste

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 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

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 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

Abort test! Abort test!

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 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 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

Failed the vibe check

By akvan - 23/08/2022 08:00 - Canada - Toronto

Today, I realized I don't know anything about driving if the instructor isn't sitting beside me. I realized it two minutes into my driving test, which I failed miserably. 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 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

I don't think they're allowed to fail you for that. Some people talk a lot when they're nervous. Sorry, OP.

How can they fail you for that? It has nothing to do with driving

She isn't allowed to fail you for that! Someone is abusing her authority. When you go to take it again request a different instructor. If she hates people talking or is that paranoid about driving with strangers she shouldn't of signed up for this kind of job.

It really depends on the dmv tester. They could see that as someone who isn't paying attention a lot of people can't do both at the same time/or shouldn't be especially if it continued through the entirety of the test.

Better than my second try. I was a teen with piercings. She took me out of the parking lot and we drove about ten minutes. She told me we were going to make a left. I turned on my blinker and slowed down. She then informed me it was a little further down. A second later she said I missed my road. When I went back after failing, there was no road. She even said "you're a great driver! If you hadn't missed that road..." It didn't exist.

Go right before lunch. This is what I did, and they just wanted to hurry up and go to lunch. My test was beyond simple; I drove a block, backed out of someone's driveway, went back to the testing center.
