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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, as I was taking the driver's test to get my license, I backed into a car. It belonged to the instructor sitting in my passenger seat. FML
Today, I was taking my driving test and everything was going perfectly. As I pulled back into the testing center, I smiled because I knew I'd passed. Then I got out of the car without pulling the handbrake. The examiner had to jump back in and hit the brakes before it rolled into an actual parked car. 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 was nervous as hell for my driving test. The instructor told me to drive a straight line in reverse. I forgot to put the car in reverse from drive and drove straight into a parked vehicle. Which happened to be owned by the instructor. 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. 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 took my driver's test, whereby I forgot everything, panicked, and closed my eyes while yelling, "Jesus take the wheel!" 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 hit a parked car. It happened to be my driving instructor's car. While he was instructing me, sitting in the passenger seat. I don't think I'll pass. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Keep your pimp hand strong.

I'm sure he couldn't hold it against you! After all, beating your passengers doesn't make you a bad driver...

How hard did you hit him/her? If it was just a bump then im sure they would not mind. Make sure you say your sorry though. It you hit him/her hard the worst thing to do would be to just sit there and not mention it. Did you pass?

I didn't have to do that on my drivers' test and I took it 5 days ago... Sorry OP. IDK how it is where you are, but here if you fail your test you can retake it in 2 weeks. Good luck :)

Why do you need to place your hand on the passenger seat to reverse?!
Rowdey 10
That's how you back up. It is so you can see behind you.

I see with my eyes in my turned head, not with my hand on the passenger seat.

Hmm, strange..

Driving instructor told me to keep both hands on the wheel and just turn my shoulders to look behind me.

My dad holds the back on the passenger's seat to hold his body turned around and properly look back. Some people just find it easier to do that. Others can keep their hands on the wheel and reverse just fine without doing that.

That's what your mirrors are for
jim_bolicious 4
That's pretty stupid too, when you turn your shoulders there's potential to jerk the wheel. USE YOUR MIRRORS, it's not that hard to judge the distance with your mirrors

jim_bolicious: First of all, "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear". Some people aren't experts at gauging their distances in their mirrors, so they prefer to look over their shoulder as a better focal point. Secondly, it's called a PREFERENCE. It does not make someone stupid for using it. I could easily call you a lazy dumbass for using your mirrors when you could just as easily use your eyes. But I'm not, because that's what you PREFER to do. Asshole.

Where I'm from you're required to do that..
jim_bolicious 4
Objects are only closer than they appear in the passenger side mirror. I do use my eyes very easily. A lot easier than twisting my back and neck to see something that I can normally see by tilting my head a degree or 2 and moving my eyes up a little bit. What has annoyed me the most is people claiming there's a blind spot directly behind them. The blind spots are beside you not behind you. I'm not lazy I just know how to drive/back up quickly/efficiently/easily

I completely support you on this one man lol

As long as you did everything right I guess you can still pass

Don't feel bad OP. Everyone is nervous when they take their driving test. If you failed, you can always try again.

Don't worry about it op, sometimes everybody needs a reality check.

Did you back into the driveway correctly?
