Today, I took my road test. I'd never had driver's training and my mom taught me how to drive. I failed the test so badly, and when I got home my mom admitted to having taught me how to drive completely wrong because she didn't want me to get my license as she thinks I'm too young. I'm 18. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I failed to get my driver's licence. My father was the instructor. 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 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 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 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, after failing my learner's licence twice in the previous weeks, I finally passed. As I got home, I went for a drive with my dad. I smashed my mum's car into an old lady's fence and ended up in her backyard. 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
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 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you're 18 shouldn't you be responsible enough to get the book and read it yourself? Should've proved to your mom that you're not too young by showing some initiative, independence, and preparation... I got that damn book as soon as I learned where I could get one and had my permit by 16. Plus, you always have GOOGLE MAGIC! If you really want something work for it... Jeez, grow the hell up!

What on Earth did she teach you to do? I hope she realizes that if she's teaching you to drive unsafely, she's endangering you and everyone else on the road. I say save your money and take driver's ed. Depending on your state, you can probably get a license without her permission if you're 18. I can't believe how many people are saying that women shouldn't drive. Do you know how ignorant and sexist that is? I know far more men who are crappy drivers than women. Teenage boys actually have higher insurance rates than girls do because they tend to drive very aggressively. There are plenty of good drivers and plenty of bad drivers within each gender, and I think a good solution would just be to make the driving tests harder to pass. That way, no bad driver could get a license, regardless of gender.

This is disgusting. Your mother should not have done this to you, it is wrong. You should secede from her as soon as you can. Despicable. You lot shut up about which sex is better at driving. It doesn't ******* matter and is irrelevant to the topic. -SeaGhile

These FMLs actually piss me off alot. The parent must be mentally challenged to do that.

That sucks, some parents just have a hard time letting their children grow up and become independent.
