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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

As much as it sucks that your own mother sabotaged (sorry if I've spelled that incorrectly, early morning, what can ya do) you in such as way...You do kind of deserve it. It's really not a good idea to learn from someone who isn't certified/qualified/licensed to instruct, because even if your mother was being genuine in her teaching you how to drive...she could've also passed on any bad driving habits she might've had, which could also hinder you. So, unless there's some other extenuating circumstance (i.e. you're working or for some other reason could not take a driving course at whatever time it was offered and the only time you could learn was by taking advantage of the somewhat more flexible and accomodating schedule a relation would have) you really should've taken the course. Instructers know how to teach driver's ed without implementing their own personal habits.

By the time you're old enough to get your license, you really should be old enough to use punctuation.

This happened on Grounded for Life and was threatened on an episode of Army Wives. And the Stop signs in white ARE NOT OPTIONAL. You must stop at all stop signs.

That's why you go to class and not let your stupid mom teach you how to drive. Words can not describe how much of a bitch she is.

She's 18 and I know driver's ed around here is ONLY available in high school and it's extremely hard to get into.

Now I'm not trying to be mean, but you totally deserve it. Driving a car, assuming it has an automatic transmission because no body likes to drive real cars anymore, is one of the easiest things to do. Now it sucks that you have a mother that has such a warped sense of protection, but if you can't figure out how to push the pedal and turn the wheel on your own then you really shouldn't even try to get your license.

Sure, the ACT of driving is simple and usually only takes common sense, but maybe the OP's mom didn't teach her some LAWS that need to be followed when driving.

I hope your mom hasn't taught you about sex. For instance, if she taught you that blowing nice, older men was wrong, then she is teaching you COMPLETELY WRONG.

Oh, come on. You know you're not nice. XD

I'm very nice. I'm concerned that she start her adult life on the straight and narrow path. I wouldn't want to see her to go off half-cocked.
