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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I failed my driving test before even leaving the DMV parking lot. 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 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 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 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
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 failed my driving test. I rammed into the parallel parking poles, ran a stop sign, and stopped at a cross intersection. My instructor called me an idiot. 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 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 had my first driving test. The instructor turned out to be the kind of twit who made me do the full 60-minute test, only to tell me afterwards that he was failing me for the only mistake I made less than 2 minutes after the test started. Time wasting tit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's one way to fail your driving test.

I'm not a Perfect driver but people who forget the basic rules of driving like a one way sign scare the hell outta me.
Roevera 14
Happened to me, except it was because I didn't come to a complete stop turning right at a red light. Oh well, I tried again and because I knew what I needed to work on I only made one mistake the second time.

Missing a one way sign is quite serious. Imagine if you'd done it on a busy road; anything could have happened! Sorry OP, you deserved to fail...
sens3sfailing 25
Well yeah, but it's not like she ignored it, just missed it. There are people who drive aggressively and stupidly knowing full well of rules but disregard them for the sake of trying to save a minute in travel time and they are the ones who scare me. They are usually the ones getting in crashes and taking weeks longer than planned to get to the destination in an attempt to save 5 minutes.

Congratulations 48.

I usually catch these word plays, but I have to admit that I didn't catch it till 48 mentioned it. So I actually have to thank him for that one.

Wasn't it obvious enough to see cars parked going in one direction?
xcarxcrashx 9
91 probably not to a new driver. I remember being pretty damn nervous. While its a reason to fail its still understandable that it could happen.
Inheritance 10
Here in Indiana you must complete 50 hours total of driving; so in away he's not a new driver per-say, and has read up on one way streets I'm sure.
sens3sfailing 25
Ummm you see, about 98% of the people who take the test don't have those hours. In NY state you need 50 hours too. I had less than 50 but had taken drivers Ed and driven a good amount and maybe had around 30 hours or so, still passed on my first try by a large margin, but most kids dont get a pass on their first try because of their lack of experience, and 50 hours is really hardly ever completed anywhere I'm sure.
Myo_fml 20
I completed mine. It can be done and is still done.
Inheritance 10
I never completed my 50 hours, but I also took drivers Ed and took the driving test and passed my first, in fact that was yesterday win I passed.

That's harsh, and unfair but there's always next time?
saintsrocksocks 10
How is it unfair? What if it was a one way street he got there on?
skyguy592 15
Because the instructor made OP go through the whole test even though they failed at the very beginning...
Myo_fml 20
Not unfair, if OP were to pull out onto a one way street on a busy road way it could mean an accident maybe even someone badly injured or killed.
saintsrocksocks 10
Thank you myo I failed to go into detail with my comment.
SamanthaCassieL 10
Not unfair- you have to be observant when driving, I would hate to have someone like you on the road. If you failed to notice something that important, how can I trust you to be a safe driver with others in the car as well as children on the road. The younger ones sometimes don't look before crossing. Could mean a very big mistake on your part that could change yours and someone else's live forever.

A comment for the word "agreed?" really?

Well obviously you weren't ready.

Why did the instructor waited until the end of the test to let you know you failed from the beginning of it??

#5, Lots fail more than one part of the test. Teachable moments, for the retest.
craphappened 4
Well I guess the instructor took the OP for a ride.
woainishamu 21
Because whether or not you pass, the instructor will take you for the full 15 minute duration of the test. After that, they will go over the results and then tell you if you passed or not.

When I failed she had me stop immediately she being the instructor.
ProhibitionRose 14
Yeah... My instructor told me if I messed up even once she was going to make me pull over and fail me on the spot
IceCreamMage 17
My brother was failed similarly because he missed a stop sign that was hidden behind a tree, quite literally. You couldn't see it until you had gone past it. In addition to him failing, within a week, the council came and cut the tree branch off too. What a coincidence.
Migole 36
That what I wondered as well... I failed my first driving test literally 2 minutes after it started because of some woman who was too stupid too take a look at the street before backing out of her driveway and the instructor just let me drive around the block and told me I had failed.
Stahrgeyzer 8
67, your brother probably failed because even though the stop sign may have been hidden, the solid white line on the road wouldn't be.

I bet he gets a lot of people that way don't feel bad.. Prolly the only laugh he gets all day

Is it really that hard to spell out 'probably'?
AnagenisisZagus 13
Probably. Actually, it is. I just died.

Could have *
Hockeyboy4280 18
Every one noticed *could have* but no one noticed that he spelled instructor wrong... Driving testers are not suppose to say anything to help. What if OP was driving alone? no one would have been able to point out the one way sign...

It's safety violation which is an automatic fail. YDI

You should have yielded to see that there was one way to exit. Stop and pay attention. TRAFFICSIGNPUNTRAFFICSIGNPUN. ****, man.
