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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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
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. 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 failed my driving test. Zero minor errors, one major fault. The fault was me thinking the road was one-way, positioned my car on the right lane to turn right, only to find out I was in the lane of oncoming traffic. 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 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 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
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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Making one small mistake in a car is not a big deal... Unless you kill/hurt yourself or someone else. You should failed this test but you should get another chance in few weeks after more practice with an instructor. When I first got my license years ego my dad make sure I drove A LOT while on learners permit (I drove 15-20K miles before going for DL test). Sad part is many parents don't let kids drive hardly at all before letting them loose on public roads (even worse sometimes in V8 monster)

OP if you get confused just remember, wherever you're driving, whether at home or abroad, the driver is always on the inside of the road. If you look out your window and see sidewalks and pedestrians instead of oncoming traffic, you're either on the wrong side of the road or in a vehicle not made for that country. Either way you'll need to change.

Not necessarily. Where I live we drive on the left however, due to our proximity to the US we import a ton of left hand drive cars.

Yeah this should be a YDI because the safety for OP and others on the road it's vital to at the very least know what side of the road you're supposed to drive its a given/common sense to know that but I guess in this case for OP this sense wasn't so common.

Some more practice, and a bit more presence-of-mind would be helpful next time. I'm sure you'll get it! Good luck!

At least she was nice about it...

That's just test anxiety, OP. None of us make the best judgments when we're nervous. I'd never expect you to make this mistake under normal circumstances. At least you have a good story to tell; I'm sure you'll laugh about this later. Better luck next time!

Automatic fail. It's ok though, I automatic failed my first for cutting a corner so short I popped the curb.
