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

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

You know, when someone will call you a son of a bitch, I think you shouldn't be offended.

driving is common sense you idiot

That's ridiculous. Your mum is a retard for doing that. At least stories like these remind me that I have decent parents.

1). Get a job. 2). Pay for drivers' training. 3). Drive far, far away from that controlling bitch.

You're 18 and you couldn't figure out you were driving "completely wrong?" YDI, but FYL for having her as a mother.

My thoughts exactly. And how do you even drive completely wrong without severely endangering yourself and anyone else in the car with you?

Finally someone who had the exact same thoughts I did. I mean HOW in the world does that happen? When I started taking driving lessons at 18 I already technically knew how to drive a car (mind you, stickshift!) because I had seen in it a billion times sitting next to my parents in the car... And if it was rules or roadsigns you didn't know stuff about then YDI for not learning the theoretical stuff, don't get in a car if you don't know WTF you're doing...this so reminds me of that one dumb person who believed stop signs with a white outline are optional o.O" But because of dumbasses like this in Germany you HAVE to take your lessons at a certified driving school in the driving school car where the driving instructor has his own clutch, gas pedal and breaks...so he can at least prevent some stuff that dumbasses are doing :D

I agree with #39. Seriously, did you pay attention at ALL while you were a passenger? If you're thinking to yourself, "Hmm, she isn't driving the way she tells ME to...", that should be a pretty big hint. While I did take the requisite courses and such for my state, it was more of a formality at that point; I had learned almost everything I needed through simple observation. Driving isn't exactly a difficult thing, so long as you keep your mind on the road.

I'm guessing she's trying to cover up. She did her best to teach you and that's just an excuse for you failing.

What... the... ****? I know two people who should NEVER be allowed to drive, and that's you and your mom. You, because you didn't notice it was _ALL WRONG_, which you should've noticed from so many things. If you're not interested enough to notice this you shouldn't drive. And your mom. Does she think the world revolves around her? What the hell? This pisses me off, why can't people realise that driving is something you need to commit to seriously? God damn...

Does no one realize that she could've taught her how to do something very small and insignificant wrong so that she would fail (one mistake = a fail)? She could've told her to look out her mirrors instead of turning around to back up or how to do a three point turn in the wrong direction (who does that in real life? hardly anyone!) or to put on her signal a little too early or too late. Jesus Christ, people.

you don't fail for such little things you did wrong like what you gave as examples, so no no one thought of that. you don't fail for doing one thing wrong. they take off a certain amount of points for doing something wrong, and based on how many points you get taken off you either pass or fail. you would still pass for doing a few simple things wrong. so obviously the OP had to do something terribly wrong.

YDI because you didn't notice, and you also didn't take driver's ed. You kinda should've noticed it. I highly recommend Driver's Ed: you'll save *LOTS* of money on insurance in the end. I'm getting my license soon, and it helps, a lot!!
